Vibrant Colors in Jewelry
The world-renowned authority on color, Pantone has published its fashion color report for Fall 2008, which is described as the "season of change," defined by rich and elegant hues. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute states that "fall is traditionally a time for subdued, quiet colors, but this season we are seeing a shift toward cool hues with bright exciting undertones."

Pantone Colors for Fall 2008

The Blues Have It
Blue Iris, a beautifully balanced blue with an undertone of purple, is a favorite among designers, because it combines the calming aspects of blue with the mystical qualities of purple. And it's Pantone's Color of the Year for 2008. Dramatic Royal Lilac brings purple to the forefront of fashion, and generates a bit of heat with its exciting red undertones.

Serene, sophisticated Caribbean Blue is another popular hue for fall 2008, especially in jewelry and accessories, but it can also add a colorful intensity wherever it is used. Twilight Blue, a twist on the classic navy, shows the transitional aspect of spring segueing into fall.
