Pantone has recently released their Fall 2011 Fashion Color Report which showcases a selection of designers and what colors they’ll be using for their fall collections.

I must say, I’m very delighted by the color palette. The colors seem to be brighter than last year and designers appear to be paying attention to texture, color, and contrast. There’s a very nice balance of bright, cool, and neutral tones being used. As much as I’m ready for warm weather to arrive this cheery color palette will keep me excited for fall.
