Pantone Releases Fall ’13 Color Report

“Multi-faceted” emerald green, a yellow-hued Linden green and accents of Mykonos blue are among the Fall colors for women and men, according to color forecaster Pantone LLC, which recently released its “Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2013.”

“The Fall 2013 palette allows for that versatility and experimentation,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, in a statement.

Pantone forecasts Spring greens evolving and, when paired with “bold, meditative” Mykonos blue, the shades create a “classic and relaxed Fall look.”

The report is available for free on Pantone’s website (www.pantone.com/fall2013) and features the top 10 colors for women and men, as well as designer sketches and additional information. Swatch cards for all 10 colors are also available, for $99.50. Pantone is a subsidiary of Carlstadt, N.J.–based X-Rite Corp. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Pantone offers a range of color products for designers and consumers.—A.A.N.
