Colour Your World | #16 Pantone Lavender Herb

So funny to think that, when I started, I had no idea that it would take me nearly a full year to complete the 2015 palette. I’m really looking forward to exploring the SS16 Pantone colour report and looking at all the new shades that have been selected for next year. It’s been so lovely …

Colour Your World | #16 Pantone Titanium

The next in my Colour Your World series is Pantone Titanium. Granted it’s not as zingy as Woodbine or restful as the gorgeous Dusk Blue — that I featured back in May — but it’s edgy, cool and works in any setting. Titanium. A glorious dark, graphite grey. Team it with acid yellows, soft pinks or fiery oranges and you’ve …

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 …

Colour Your World | #14 Pantone Woodbine

The 14th colour in my spring/summer 2015 colour series is ‘Pantone Woodbine’. I LOVE this colour. It’s a little greener than it’s yellow-rich counterpart — chartreuse — and it’s one of my favourites to wear. I perhaps call it ‘olive green’ rather than Woodbine though. But hey — who am I to argue!? Leatrice Eisman from The Pantone Institute describes …

Colour Your World | #13 Pantone Treetop

It feels like an age — 2 months in fact — since the last Pantone post in this series. I’d hoped  to have the full series finished by now but the year has been rolling on and life has been so busy, I just haven’t had a chance. We have just 5 colours left in the Pantone spring/summer …

Colour Your World | #12 Pantone Dusk Blue

We’ve looked at various shades of blue since I started this series of Pantone posts. It’s such an amazing colour and there are so many variants. From the greenest, turquoise to the darkest tone of indigo, the colour blue covers an amazing spectrum. We’ve already looked at Aquamarine; an ethereal powder blue. Not actually what I’d call Aquamarine …

Colour Your World | #11 Pantone Glacier Grey

I can’t believe that we’re over the halfway mark now! Since I started looking at the Pantone Spring/Summer report, we’ve seen some great colours; Aquamarine, Lucite Green and Custard to name a few. This week is the turn of Pantone Glacier Grey. Now anyone who knows me, knows I’m partial to a little bit of grey …

Each year, within the palette of colours for Spring/Summer, Pantone appoints it’s number one colour — the one that will filter down, from catwalk to highstreet, and will influence the buyer’s choices for selecting the product we see in the shops. Previous shades have included Tangerine Tango, Mimosa and Radiant Orchid but this year it’s …

Colour Your World | #1 The Annual Colour Predictions

This is the first in my ‘Colour Your World’ series — talking about the Pantone annual colour predictions. As a designer, I’m always looking at trends and predictions — and my most favourite thing by far is COLOUR! When the design world’s colour guru, Pantone,  releases it’s colour report for each season, it’s amazing to watch how these shades …
