Color Trends for 2012

What’s in a Name?

Don’t shoot the messenger. Cynics are calling it a rerun of the mauving of America in the 1980s, but the product is out there, and it’s anything but dull. Call it blush or bashful, or if you prefer, we can call it 14-1307 Rose Dust (Pantone). And much like purple, there is a spectrum of pinks coming into play this season, and we’re seeing these hues being used in combination. So if you are wary, and need something a little more exciting, forget the pale and go for bold -- fuchsia, that is.
