Pantone Colour Report 2007

Thanks to Dave Pinter for the link to Pantone’s summer 2007 colours, analysed from the recent catwalks in NYC and explained with a breakdown of each designer’s colour choice and season inspiration. The report overview sums up the season-

in a season of new beginnings, using
surprising neutrals with innovative splashes
of corals, yellows and purples to create a
