Margie Deeb has a brand new color report out and ready to rock and roll. “Subtle contrasts” are the catch phrase for the fall/winter palette for 2009. Margie discusses the top Pantone colors that will be found in clothing this fall, based upon Pantone’s survey with Fashion Week insiders.
The main section of Margie’s report takes each of these ten directional colors and provides a report on Delicas and Swarovski beads that represent each. She then provides several suggested palettes for using that color, including color schemes that will delight both the classic and the avant garde among us. I was particularly interested in the palettes she came up with to feature Warm Olive, not a color I especially like. But I liked the palettes, so go figure!
It just goes to show that in the hands of a master colorist, any color can be maximized to be its best. The full report is $9.95 and can be purchased on MargieDeeb.com
