The Fall/Winter
Color Report
These colors are expected to take over the
fashion world in this upcoming season.
By Lyndsay Fogarty
Based on the runways of New York Fashion Week,
Pantone Color Institute, a leader in color strategies
and forecasting, has put together a report
of what we’ll be seeing out of designer collections this
fall and winter. A mix of confident, strong and sophisticated,
the wide range of colors are relatable and easily
individualized.
“Colors for Autumn/Winter 2019/2020 range
from easy and sophisticated to strikingly different and
unique,” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of
the Pantone Color Institute. “This palette of versatile
hues builds a sense of empowerment and confidence,
enabling the wearer to choose the colors that best reflect
his or her mood and persona.”
The core, classic shades for the season, which are
noted below, can stand on their own or act as a solid
foundation for bold color contrasts. Here are some
ideas for integrating them into your wardrobe along
with complementary colors from the Autumn/Winter
2019/2020 palette.

Vanilla Custard
Description: “Vanilla Custard
is an understated, smooth and
creamy white.”
Try it: Consider opting for a dress
in this shade and accessorizing
with a bolder color from the fall/
winter palette, such as the deep,
adventurous Biking Red or Fruit
Dove, a pretty and powerful pink.

Evening E
Blue
Description: “Confident and
classic, a deep blue symbolic of
the evening sky.”
Try it: Make this hue the star of
your outfit by going for a smart
suit in Evening Blue with a Vanilla
Custard shirt underneath. Add a
pop of color by accessorizing with
pumps or a handbag in Crème de
Pêche, a soft peach shade in the
autumn/fall palette.
Paloma
Description: “An unpretentious,
yet at the same time elegant gray,
Paloma endures.”
Try it: Grays are perfect for boots,
handbags and even nail polish
during the fall and winter months.
This season, Paloma provides the
ultimate base for a stellar outfit
because it plays nice with a variety
of accent colors. Our favorite way
to wear it is as a skirt or pants with
a blouse in Dark Cheddar, a daring
blend of yellow and orange.
Guacamole
Description: “A tasteful, nutrientenriched
green, Guacamole
establishes a refreshing
foundation.”
Try it: Easily the most noticeable
of the fall/winter classics, make
Guacamole the statement piece
in your ensemble by choosing a
dress in this shade. Go for more
neutral tones, such as camel or
nude, for your accessories.
