Color is a leading element when designing jewelry. Who doesn't find him or herself inspired by a shade in a painting or contrast in new shirt? If you are thinking about colors for fall 2010, then you will enjoy virtually flipping through the Pantone Fashion Color Report for fall 2010. (A special shout out to the folks art Artbeads.com for sending this information to me!)
The report is designed to mimic the feel of flipping through a hard copy catalog, so it's pretty cool just for that reason. Sixty-two pages are full of information on the colors we will see in clothing and other fashion items for this fall, so of course, as jewelry designers this is pretty helpful information to know. Some of my personal fall color favorites include chocolate truffle (yum), oyster gray, and lagoon.
Other interesting information in this digital brochure includes top designers' "must have" clothing items for fall, their take on how the economy has affected the way they think about color, and general fashion trends.

Thanks for posting the Pantone Fall 2010 color report! It’s a very interesting fashion/accesories update to read, and shows the latest colors beautifully!
Thank you for the digital preview of the Pantone color report. For years I used this in my job in architectural design. With the industry suffering as badly it is, and me and so many of my co-workers being unemployed, it was fun to feel ‘back in the swing’ for a bit. I love the bright primaries mixed with army green!
Loved the colors, but I didn’t like many of the fashions. Some of them were downright unflattering.
I must have ESP.
I just designed some new earrings in a unique shape last week, using colors that just appealed to me. And WOW-90% of the EXACT colors I used for these designs are in this report!
How affirming!
