The Pantone ‘FASHION’ Color Report for Spring 2013 was released in late August for New York Fashion Week * September 6-13, 2012:
The color report that was announced in August is Pantone’s top 10 choices for their 2013 Fashion Color Report, a comprehensive overview of designer’s use of color in their upcoming collections. The report features 10 colors for women’s and men’s fashion for Spring 2013!
Although I do love most of the colors, (especially the Monaco Blue), these colors are the Spring Designer Fashion Colors that will be popular in Spring 2013. Pantone does not announce it’s ‘ Color Of The Year’ until the end of November- early December.
The release of this forecast also raises a big question….what will the 2013 color of the year be? It may be one of the colors in this Spring 2013 forecast, but which one? I predict it will be one of the shades of blue or green, but we’ll have to wait awhile to see. That won’t be announced until December. What color do you predict?
I am not tying to upset anyone (especially my blogger friends I LOVE!). I could have not posted anything when I saw this online at a few site’s today. But someone else is out there ready to write it and maybe not very kindly. I just wanted to not make a big deal out of it.

Thanks for clearing this up Kelly. It’s so confusing as there are so many trend announcements and color of the year announcements. Maybe the lesson here is that we should just ignore all the hoopla la and pick colors we love rather than what a paint company tells us we should love…right?
Do you love purple too Sheila??
Hey! I almost did write something connected to this colour based on the other blogs I read… that explains why all I could find were the fashion links!!! Eeeek. Thank goodness for you, my friend. I’m just going to sit back and wait. I love the Monaco Blue, but I was secretly hoping for some variation of purple, as in purple-purple! But I liked Tangerine Tango, too, and I know a lot didn’t, so that’s just me!!!
Wonder why they wait so long to “announce”? Maybe they’re really testing the waters to see
Funny how the percentages of each color chosen/used is very close.
The one thing I did notice is that they have the similar colors that BM announced earlier.
Either way, the industry’s trying to tell us what will be trendy. My thought is regardless of the ‘color of the year’ don’t pick it unless you LOVE it!
Trends are just that: they come and go but we live in our homes a long time…and most of us don’t want to be painting seasonally or even annually.
