Color Trends for Fall 2013 in Fashion and Accessories - Like Mittens!

Pantone is an authority on color. For me, Pantone mostly comes to mind when thinking about paint, but it's so much more. The company I work for requires the use of specific Pantone-numbered hues for its logo and font formatting. Sephora releases annual nail polish and makeup collections based on Pantone's "color of the year."

So yes, Pantone is an authority on color. I read the fall 2013 Fashion Color Report with interest. A number of designers weighed in and shared their colors for fall and the inspiration behind those colors.

How do the colors in Marion's Mittens' shop match up with what Pantone says will be popular?
  
Pantone's color of the year for 2013 has been Emerald. It's a great hue. There's nothing that exact color in the shop although I own a vintage pair of emeraldesque mittens! We also had this seafoamy color last year that's quite similar to Pantone's Emerald:

   

Here are all of the Pantone picks for fall 2013:

Mittens for ladies and kids in Persimmon are quite close to Koi:


These Fuscia Sparkle Glitter mittens in an adult size look Vivacious.


And we have a few colors that sold out but should be back in stock soon!  Wine Country reminds me of Sambra and Pagoda looks a lot like Mykonos:

      

Stay tuned - we've got a forest green pair coming to the shop soon that look just like Deep Lichen Green!
