2022 color of the year

Sherwin-Williams unveiled its 2022 color of the year and it’s 100% aligned with the tone of “the year of transition“! The color is evergreen fog and it’s like taupe, mint green, and beige had a baby….waalah! But after a year of trying to get ahead of the pandemic and its variants, dig ourselves out of political conflicts, heal from a divisive Presidential election, and so much more, it makes sense that such a muted but flexible color would be the choice!

“living” coral is pantone’s 2019 color of the year

While I’m not sure of the difference between “living” coral and non-living coral, so be it! Pantone’s 2019 color of the year, living coral, is bright, effusive, friendly, energizing but soft, and vibrant but slightly mellow. I can play nice with other colors but it’s not made for everyone. I found a few fun pieces that can allow you to participate in the ‘color of the year’ fun without going overboard or doing too much… [show_lookbook_widget id=”410826″]

pantone color of the year: violet

I’m not a huge fan of the “fairer” colors but violet can be pretty and we found a few fabulous items to get you started off in the right sartorial direction this year! My favorite (new violet acquisition)….. The violet notebook (I’m a sucker for paper!!!) [show_shopthepost_widget id=”2976389″]

Pantone 2017 Color of the Year – Greenery

Every year, Pantone comes out with its “Color of the Year” and for 2017 it’s Greenery! It’s bright but surprisingly versatile in its pairing. It can be toned down or brightened up with some great vibrants ~ and it’s pretty preppy too! As a tried-and-true navy/camel/red palette girl, I wasn’t sure this color would make a showing in my closet in 2017 but I think it can happen using this color palette… It has hints of my navy and camel!!

Men’s Fall Color Report 2013

I’m not suggesting that men should walk around sporting bright red or emerald green on an everyday basis but, a hint or pop of color in a sea of navy can do wonders for morale! If someone “forced” your hand, which color would you add to your closet? I’d suggest samba or acai ~ both are rich, deep and lush but not too brash so as to offend your neutral senses….

Emerald: Pantone 2013 Color of the Year

Last year it was Tangerine Tango. The year before it was Honeysuckle. 2010 it was Turquoise. This year, Pantone’s color of the year is Emerald: a vibrant, rich and multi-faceted color because it plays so nicely with warm and cool tones. By virtue of my recent fascination with camouflage and my wardrobe update of navy blue, I am truly excited by this! What am I going to run and scoop? I’m not 100% sure because I need to feel it

Tangerine Tango Is The Toast of The Town

Who died and made Pantone the authority on color?! Not sure but besides the obvious investigation that would need to take place, I’m too busy being mesmerized by this color. If you know me then you know I love orange and although this isn’t quite orange, it easily brings a smile to my face. While I may love this reddish-orange hue with hints of yellow, the rest of the world may be aghasted at how loud it is, how uncomplimentary
