Peripheral – Appreciate the small elements! Using honest, flat, uncomplicated, warm color, we slowly build complex forms as we appreciate how little elements work together to produce great things.
Refocus also examines Colour Movements – tones that are becoming more important, less important or shifting in hue and intensity:
• Lighter blues and navy increase in importance. • Leathery brown becomes more important as a basic. • Oxblood grows in popularity as browns, in general, adopt a redder hue. • Olive becomes stronger. • Purple and purple hues are still evident. • Brights have a singular status for winter. • Camel evolves into cappuccino and creamy hues. • Yellows become softer and less sporty. • Reds are becoming more orange. • Traditional winter darks and berry colors are more mid-toned and less blackened.
Published bi-annually, 18-24 months ahead of the season, the PANTONE VIEW Colour Planner is based on the PANTONE FASHION + HOME Color System, the most widely used and recognized color standard in the world. The book is produced by a team of leading visionaries from all over the world with expertise in different disciplines, providing a comprehensive color-forecasting service for multiple design areas.
Within each of the season's most directional color palettes, a general introduction outlines the colors included and the philosophy behind them. In addition, a specific breakdown of each palette highlights harmonies, suggested color combinations, and suitable patterns and fabrics according to end use. Individual color swatch cards for all 69 colors, housed in a protective box at the back of the book, are also included, along with a CD containing imagery for use in presentations and storyboards.
