Designers Dive into Color for Spring

Refreshing splashes of invigorating brights punctuate classic, versatile neutrals as designers offer a playful spring palette for endless exploration and creative combinations. Variations on popular colors such as energizing red, cool, waterborne blue and eco-friendly greens also play a key role this season.

“The spring ‘08 color palette perfectly reflects the cheerfulness of the season,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Stabilizing neutrals combined with pops of brighter colors to create unique, distinctive looks are the basis for a great spring and summer wardrobe.”

Thanks for sharing, Lyght.
There's a definite softness to the colours even when "bright" I find.
One also sees the personality of the designer quite well through the sketching.

It's such a pleasure seeing how sketches vary from designer to designer. Some add immense detail to clothes and body; others draw the bare minimum. Either way, like Bidwell said, we see a glimpse of their personality shine through.
