Pantone Colors Out In NYC Fashion Week

Pantone has released its Fashion Color Report for Spring 2013 in women’s  and men’s year of colors to coincide with New York Fashion Week. The palette of colors is a "balancing act" that is remarkably versatile in working the colors together or alone as a color statement. 

"The expression 'balancing act' is something we all relate to as we strive to find harmony in the frantic pace of our everyday lives," says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. "The same can be said for fashion as we look for balance between light and bright, classic and new. This season's color palette emphasizes this need for balance, while at the same time allowing for individuality, self-expression and excitement."

The women’s color palette includes:
• Emerald, Pantone 17-5641
