Last week, Pantone released their Spring 2013 Fashion Colour Report. The colours are taken directly from runway trends and draw inspiration from some of the hottest designers in the fashion world, such as Tracy Reese, Herve Leger, Rachel Roy and Ella Moss. Think of their findings as the Coles Notes of couture; Pantone’s picks sum up the most used, most loved and most on trend hues of the upcoming season.
I am loving so many of these shades – particularly Tender Shoots, a vibrant yellow-green; African Violet, a statement colour that brings a touch of intrigue; and Nectarine, a bright, effervescent citrus orange with coral undertones. It’s also good to see clean, bold colours make the cut, such as Lemon Zest, Monaco Blue and Poppy Red. Folks, memorize these colours, because you’re about to see them popping up everywhere!

I love seeing bold colors, when they are done well — the monaco blue and grayed jade are my favourites.
Victoria, you have a keen eye – and I’m not just saying that because the blue and jade are two of my fave colours too!
Loving those new colors for Spring! Especially the blues :)
Me too! I’ve always been a big fan of nautical looks – I think the Monaco Blue and Poppy Red paired together would be smashing!
Very cool – especially the Canon Powershot – never seen a camera in that colour!
Me neither! Just from checking out the cameras for this piece, I noticed that Canon makes a crazy assortment of colours!

I love the colors and the great offers from SHOP.CA
Indeed Margaret! They’re great!
Those emerald and nectarine colours are gorgeous
I know…. so LOVE them.
I could do with a lot more linen in my life, while tender shoots is my mother’s signature color – so I’m sure she’ll be happy to find more options in store (she’s been looking for a green jacket in just the right shade for 3 years now LOL!)
Ooooh I will definitely keep a look out for her! Love tender shoots too :)
I love the colors!
These colors are my colors! Yay for a season of clothes I can actually wear.
YAY! Love the variety too :)
Love anything Green – my colour – love the camera..
LOVE the camera too. I have a plain old boring black camera :)
I have a pretty red camera, but would much rather have a green one since green is my most favourite colour. I’m thinking that ‘tender shoots’ would be a perfect colour for my kitchen walls – love the fresh, crispness of the tone. AND, my white cupboards would really pop against it. Love, love, love it!
I love that Poppy Red and the Grayed Jade
