Colour Your World | #15 Pantone Sandstone

Since I began this series, although I’ve created home and womens’ fashion collections — based on the Pantone shades — I haven’t focussed on kids’ fashion at all.

I guess, when you think of fashion for little ones, brights spring to mind or — at the very least — the stereotypical ‘pink for a girl, blue for a boy’.

A colour that I certainly wouldn’t immediately associate with childrenswear is the next colour in the series; Pantone Sandstone.

Even though sandy, rusty shades are a fairly standard fixture in an adults’ wardrobe — I’m thinking shoes and belts — this particular shade is not something that you’d immediately pick as a colour for the littlest members of our family.

But never one to shy away from a challenge, I’ve put together a little board of kids wear based on Pantone Sandstone.

Although I’ve cheated slightly and gone for peachier tones in some instances, it just goes to show that — for cool boys and girls — Sandstone could work really well!

I’ve started to put a Pinterest board together — womens’ fashion and accessories, rather than kids’ — but in all honesty finding pins in this shade was really tricky! I think this is going to be something I’ll add to over time as it’s looking pretty sparse at the moment!

I’ll be totally getting back in my comfort zone with the next shade in the series though. It’s one of my very favourite colours — Titanium — the question is should I concentrate on fashion or homes?titanium
