That Palin Woman

A continuing trend that drives designer’s choices in terms of fashion colours is the consumers’ appetite for escapism. People in the market for fashionable clothes, designer jewellery and interior furnishings want to be distracted from the pressure and even the monotony of their everyday lives. Whether subconsciously or not, consumers increasingly go for more adventurous and striking choices when purchasing items that colour their world.

With this in mind, the latest industry predictions for Spring 2011 show that colour designers have opted for colours that come from the opposite sides of the colour wheel, they have achieved a striking and vivid palette. The end result is that whilst we will still be able to choose traditional colours for clothes and accessories, there will definitely be some added spice and visual interest sparked by the new crowd.

Please note that the titles used for the colours referred to in this article are the specific names given in the Pantone colour range.

First off, Coral Rose. This is orange, but deepened to add a more classy and sophisticated tone. Similarly, Beeswax hints at distant places with a honeyed yellow tone. Both of these combine very effectively with a colder tone such as Regatta, a mid blue, creating a visual boost to your wardrobe. Another option for the more classic and romantically inclined would be Lavender, which is an eponymous shade that benefits from a little hint of red underneath. Coral Rose or Beeswax will work very well with either Regatta or Lavender.

Blue Curacao continues to satisfy the fans who locked on so loyally to the hugely successful Turquoise – which was, of course, 2010 Colour of the Year. Blue Curacao brings the tropical feel of the Caribbean into play and also works well with Coral Rose or Beeswax. The clean, crisp lines of contemporary designer jewellery will suit this colour grouping well, preferably with turquoise detailing.

Peapod is a fresh green and yellow combination with a very natural and organic feel, a great choice for Spring with its theme of rebirth and new beginnings.

Spanning the seasons are, as ever, the neutral colours that ensure a stable canvas for all the other colours to play on. They have been dubbed the ‘nude hues’ and exude a natural, honest vibe that makes one instantly relaxed and calm. Silver Peony is the most neutral, supported by Russet, a much deeper tone, as well as Silver Cloud – a light, muted grey. The brown bronzes and silvers found in quality freshwater pearl jewellery is clearly going to be in perfect harmony with them, too – making them a real essential in your jewellery wardrobe.

Those are the key colour trends for Spring 2011 that will be vying for consumer spending, especially in the competitive garment, accessories and jewellery markets.
