The top ten colors for fall 2016 are here! Pantone has released the top ten colors designers are using on their fall/winter 2016/2017 collection during New York Fashion Week.

The colors include two blues; Riverside and Airy Blue. The other eight colors are Sharkskin, Aurora Red, Warm Taupe, Dusty Cedar, Lush Meadow, Spicy Mustard, Potter’s Clay, and Bodacious.

The colors are calm, muted, yet traditional for autumn. I love the soft take on classic fall colors; and of course the two blue hues! What do you think of Pantone’s top ten colors for fall 2016?

Move over Marsala, there is a new color of the year in town! Introducing the color of the year 2016, or should I say colors of the year 2016???

Pantone has announced there is not one, but two colors designated as the color of the year 2016. The colors are Rose Quartz and Serenity. A fabulous blush-pink, and a soft, almost-sky blue. I have to admit, I am in love!

I have been eyeing a blush handbag for the upcoming spring season; but unsure of what to get! So this is welcome news that Rose Quartz is one of the two colors of 2016. Since this pretty hue has been in style for the past two years, it is possible many of you already own it! I do not, so it looks like I have some shopping to do! Ha, any excuse right?

Blue happens to be my favorite color. I love any shade of blue you throw at me. So Serenity is a welcome color of 2016. I cannot wait to fill my closet with items in this pretty hue. They will be worn for many years to come; you can never own enough blue!

Since spring 2016 has not hit store shelves yet, and we will not see fall 2016 until February 2016, it is a little difficult to find a plethora of clothing and accessories on the market right now in the color of the year 2016. So, I scoured the Internet for something fabulous in these two hues. I found them!

Here are a few fabulous and fashionable pieces of clothing, and accessories, you can wear right now in the color of the year 2016! My first wish list item is a handbag. What is the first item you want in the color of the year 2016? Which color do you like? Rose Quartz or Serenity?

Pantone has released the top ten colors for the spring 2016 season from New York designers. They offer a mix of vivid hues, pastels, and one neutral tone.

In the color palette above, you can see a beautiful blush hue. This color has been around for a few seasons now, and is currently popular for the fall 2015 season. It is also extremely important for spring 2016. Many designers are favoring this blush hue for spring which is named “Rose Quartz.”

Designers are showing Rose Quartz with other top ten hues such as Peach Echo, Serenity, and Lilac Grey.

Serenity, which is a fabulous light periwinkle color, is being shown often with Peach Echo, Snorkel Blue, and Buttercup.

Snorkel Blue has been paired with Iced Coffee, Buttercup, and Peach Echo by many designers for the spring 2016 season.

Buttercup, which is a cheery yellow hue, is being shown with Snorkel Blue, Serenity, and Lilac Grey.

Limpet Shell is being shown with Peach Echo, Rose Quartz, and Iced Coffee.

Lilac Grey, which is my favorite color from the top ten for spring 2016, has been paired with Green Flash, Fiesta, and Iced Coffee by designers for the warm weather season.

Fiesta is being shown with Green Flash, Snorkel Blue, and Limpet Shell for a playful, vivid color story for spring.

Iced Coffee is lone neutral in Pantone’s spring 2016 top ten color chart. This soft, cool neutral is being paired Serenity, Rose Quartz, and Lilac Grey.

Green Flash, which was the beautiful, vivid green hue on Monique Lhuillier’s spring 2016 runway, is being paired with Snorkel Blue, Limpet Shell, and Serenity for the warm weather season.

Rose Quartz has been on many runways this week at New York Fashion Week for spring 2016. Lela Rose favors Rose Quartz with Iced Coffee for the spring season while Christian Sireno has paired Rose Quartz with Peach Echo. Rebecca Minkoff is pairing Rose Quartz with Lilac Grey and Peach Echo while Rachell Pally has opted for Rose Quartz to be paired with Lilac Grey and Serenity.

I am in love with Pantone’s spring 2016 top ten most popular colors from designers in New York. My favorites are Serenity, Lilac Grey, Snorkel Blue, Green Flash, and Rose Quartz. Which colors are you excited about?
