Hot Fall Colors for 2012 Announced!
Did you watch any of the Fall Fashion Week runway shows earlier this month? If so, you probably saw a mixture of dark, bright and neutral color palettes that will hit retail stores when their Fall 2012 collections arrive later this summer!
With this being said, Pantone announced its Fall 2012 Color Report which we all know will ultimately translate into popular color themes in event design and decor.
Bright, bold colors like Chartreuse, Olympian Blue, and Ultramarine Green will be paired with colors like Fuchsia, Gold, or Platinum to create non-traditional color palettes and add a vibrant energy to any special event!
Tangerine Tango, the color of the year, will be hot paired with Fuchsia. A pale, Blush Pink will marry well with a cool Grey, Victorian Lilac or deep Chocolate or Espresso. The popular Southern Vintage event theme will incorporate these color combinations utilizing hints of Ivory Lace too!
  
We are excited to see all the color variations that are requested as the year moves along but would love to hear what your clients are asking for too!
Send your color themes or photos to nancy@creativecoverings.com and we will chat it up on our Blog and Facebook/Twitter pages!
Be sure to check out our new Design Center where you will find all of these popular colors in various linen options!
