Being the self proclaimed color lover that I am, I have to admit that I'm always waiting eagerly to see which colors that Pantone will deem the most fabulous for the season. And guess what? It's that time of year again! Time for what...You ask? Pantone has announced their Spring 2012 Color Report for 2012.
You see, after fashion week in New York, Pantone always puts together color reports for both Spring and Autumn. And although these aren't meant to be wedding specific per se, it's fun to see what is considered the ''it'' colors for the season...especially since what becomes an ''it'' color for fashion, tends to have a way of affecting wedding color choices as well.
I'm happy to report that this time the brights are even brighter, but that's not to say they didn't round out their top 10 with a pretty pastel. Isn't Sweet Lilac dreamy? I'm also happy to report that this list is definitely very close to any list I would have put together for Spring weddings. I can't wait to play around with this palette and see what new and exciting palettes I might discover, but in the meantime take a look at this list and tell me... what's your favorite? Personally, my favorites would have to be Tangerine Tango and Driftwood. However, I must admit that I can't wait to put together a palette of Margarita, Cockatoo and Starfish.

I like your blog and I am kinda likin' the margarita and solar power pantone colour. The cockatoo reminds me of tiffany blue.

Fun! I'm really drawn to Tangerine Tango (love the color AND name) & Margarita. I'd love to see inspiration boards & real wedding featuring any of these colors!
How fun! I'm always drawn to pale green colors like the margarita, but the tangerine and driftwood look pretty great together too!
Totally fun! I love Sweet Lilac :)
I'm with you - Tangerine Tango is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!!
