And ours were also white and yellow, not pink.<br /><br />That being said, I'm not really a fan of the year's color, since pink is pretty much my least favorite color. But I do like the look of the fall ones, since I adore teal--the perfect compromise between blue and green, which are always fighting for dominance as my favorite color. The "coffee liqueur" and "cedar" are right up my alley too!

The phlox color in the A/W 2011 palette seems to be featured prominently on the cover of Ottobre Woman's fall 2010 issue, though the color I see on my monitor may be a hair different and I'm just not seeing it. Ottobre Woman also featured it the previous fall. Maybe they're just ahead of the times?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447949592701882774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-53918535345427016752011-02-26T21:24:49.933-05:002011-02-26T21:24:49.933-05:00None of those colours are really my thing, except ...None of those colours are really my thing, except for the teal that has been forecast for A/W and has popped up at Gucci already, just after I wore a dress in that colour, as you can see.. http://stylewilderness.blogspot.com/2011/02/gucci-gets-me.html<br />Chedva (Belly?) I used to be the Tokyo correspondent for WGSN!! But I never did an article about colour.<br />I wonder whether colour forecasters think about how we'd like to feel when their colours come out, I mean I wonder if they consider how different colours are meant to affect us and that is why they choose them? But if that were the case you would think they would just choose happy hues all the time... or colours that make us part with our cash!Fourth Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289520392967828383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-68776407923855981312011-02-26T21:04:59.653-05:002011-02-26T21:04:59.653-05:00Oh, I love that nougat/silver cloud/russet section...Oh, I love that nougat/silver cloud/russet section!

It was in the 24 pack crayola crayons, and it was the one I'd use to color the ocean. I think when asked what my favorite color is I've said 'cerulean' since I was about five or six.

When honeysuckle was first announced I felt sort of "meh" about it - I like pink but not that particular shade, really. Of course a few weeks later, I ended up blogging about color in general and used "honeysuckle" as the example: http://hollandcox.com/blog/2011/02/exploring-new-colors-101.html<br /><br />I'm such a Pantone victim. But I really do love the rest of their 2011 colors...it makes me wonder if my current obsession with orange is because of them or if I came by it honestly...hmm.

Trumpet vine is the pink one. However, as the daughter of a watercolorist, thinking about cerulean is totally natural. You see, when I was younger, my mother and I would look at beautiful colors around us and discuss how we would mix them up. Cerulean is a pigment, and it was one of the standard pigments that she always kept on her palette, so it was often part of this discussion.Gaidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137796009019992269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-9230084875806896012011-02-25T11:40:55.082-05:002011-02-25T11:40:55.082-05:00Pantone forecasts 3 years out, if you subscribe to...Pantone forecasts 3 years out, if you subscribe to their professional services.
