Pantone’s Spring 2013 Colors

screencapped via

I’ve mentioned before that I really, really don’t like pastel colors. They’re just so … blah-looking to me. So I am just thrilled to see some bold colors in Pantone’s fashion color report. I also love that Monaco Blue is next to Nectarine in this image. Many times this kind of dark blue gets paired with white or cream, which is fine, but it has the potential to be so fun, like in this ensemble.
