Fall 2008 Colors


Magazines and blogs are buzzing with new fall fashion trends. From my understanding, fashion forms the latest trends and colors, and then it trickles down into other markets like home upholstery and bedding. I enjoy following the fashion scene to get an idea of what color trends to look for in home design, and Pantone takes the guess work out with their fashion color report 2008. What to expect this fall? Cool hues with bright, exciting undertones - love it - plus I'm a sucker for blues! Doesn't this color palette look similar to those vintage combs?! Weirrrdd!!

To see some of these hot fall colors in action check out Heidi Merrick's new collection. I love her feminine silhouettes and the color combinations are fresh with a hint of retro.

What do you predict will be the next "hot" or "it" color?

  4. I'm loving that blue dress on the bottom with the ruffled collar, as well as the blouse top right. Blue is a good color for me and I tend to wear it a lot, so lucky for me it's a signature color for this season!!

  5. I'm going to live on the edge and say lilac with a lot of grey (almost a slate colour) and "biscuit" i.e. beige with a brown undertone. If I'm right, what do I get? :-)

  17. I'm not much for frills and there seem to be a lot here, but I do like that pale flesh coloured shirt and a bit of razzle dazzle in the shirt. The blue in my pantaloons / knickerbockers are right on the money don't you think? http://katiecrackernuts.blogspot.com/2008/08/drum-roll-please.html

  26. I like the orange added to the color scheme. Orange is, to me, a fall color. Next hot color?...Maybe something in the green family?

  28. I love the navy dress coat! I am partial to blues and grays. Not sure what the next hot color will be. I just read in Lucky magazine it is purple - definitely not my favorite!
