Color Forecasting!

First I want to thank all of my fellow readers for sending me info on things that are happening in the fashion industry! Speaking of readers, one of my fellow blog readers and friend(shout out to Liana) from the Golden State (California) informed me of a company that strongly influences color trends for design professionals, artist and any other creative professional that has to deal with color! The name of the company is called Pantone. Pantone is the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industry. Just recently they released the Pantone color report for Spring 2009. I had no idea that this company existed! Who would of ever thought that there is a committe of folks dictating how you implement color in to your home, wardrobe or daily activities! When I first discovered this information I was excited and then after the excitement wore off, I began to think how much of our lives are sometimes dictated by others. So, than I began to ponder why it is extremely important to make a conscious effort to define who you are amidst all of our daily controlling factors that dictate what, when and how to wear something! All in all I think The Pantone color report is a good marker for those who rely on this system! Check out their top ten colors for Spring 2009...Pantone Color Report
