Good information if you’re planning something for Autumn and want to make sure you’re “fashionable”, Pantone have released their colours for Autumn 2009.
Interesting how much influence the US seems to have had on these names. A reflection of the change in global attitude towards the US post Obama. Indeed, Pantone’s executive director says these shades are “a direct outcome of what’s happening in the world around us.”
