Okay, all of you ‘fashionistas’ out there… ever wonder where your colors come from? Do you have any idea of how they were developed? How one designer communicates his color needs to a source?
It was years ago in New York City, but I remember having a bunch of color chips in my office and talking over the phone with a supplier and saying… ” I need Pantone Color 2024 (for example) .” We each knew EXACTLY what the other was talking about.
However, I never knew that Pantone was the ground zero for the discussion of what were going to be the ‘in colors’ for the new season…. here’s a not-so-sneak peek for the fashionable colors of Spring 2007… personally, I like Pantone 16-1720 “Strawberry Ice.”
Funny how these things come about,
