Pantone’s Fall Colors for 2016

These are the Pantone Fall Colors for 2016.   These beautiful colors strike me as somewhat subdued autumn hues that sort of continue the “calm mood” from last Spring/Summer.   

Riverside blue (a marine blue) is a sort of neutral shade that would be really good with silver, lapis jewelry, clear crystal, or red stones

Airy blue is an amped up baby blue – great with silver and crystal beads,

Sharkskin is a lovely silvery gray, A wonderful shade for silver jewelry and one that goes with just about any color

Aurora red is a very bright scarlet that’s great with gold or silver

Warm Taupe is a medium dark neutral shade, I like this shade paired with silver or black, but you could wear almost any metal

Dusty Cedar (deeper dusty rose with a definite burgundy hue). Great with gold or silver, probably with copper too

Lush Meadow is a rich luscious deep green that is wonderful going into winter – a warm green that teams well with almost any metal

   Marigold is a lush rich golden yellow – the perfect compliment for blacks, browns and neutrals

Potter’s Clay is a great coppery brown.   I love copper, so I really like this one – great with silver jewelry and colorful beads like rose quartz or peridot. Black onyx would be great, too

A bright purple called Bodacious – a playful bright color to have fun with.

I’ve also seen Olive on some Fall color lists.   Whatever your favorites, these are great colors to mix and match for Fall
