It is my Favorite time of year! Fall!  Pantone's Fall Color Fashion Report full of deep warm & earthy jewel like colors. 

Pantone has released its Fall 2013 color report, featuring a comprehensive overview of designers’ use of color in their upcoming collections. The report offers the top 10 colors for women’s and men’s fashion for fall 2013.“Just as the leaves change in autumn, the consumer will enjoy the ability to change their ‘look’ and try a new approach to their wardrobe for brisk days ahead,” commented Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “The fall 2013 palette allows for that versatility and experimentation.”

The colors featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report are culled from the PANTONE FASHION + HOME Color System, the most widely used and recognized color standards system in the world. Each season, Pantone surveys the designers of New York Fashion Week to collect feedback on prominent collection colors, color inspiration and color philosophy. This information is used to create the PANTONE Fashion Color Report, which serves as a reference tool throughout the year for fashion enthusiasts, reporters and retailers.
