pantone 2012 fall color forecast

I just love color. I've always said that my dream job would be to work at Crayola and name all the crayons. So for those of you who already know this, please bear with me. The Pantone company is the global authority on color. They spend a ginormous amount of time and moola watching and analyzing colors...all in an effort to predict what will be trending next...in fashion and interiors and paint and nail polish and carpet...and...and...you're smart, you get the idea. All that being said, here is their color forecast for fall 2012...freshly plucked from the runways of New York fashion week.

"We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box." ~Robert Fulghum

Well said Mr. Fulghum...well said. Miss Bea
