Not much there for me. I'll wait to see how it shakes out in stores.

Hmmm...not love at first sight. There are certainly colours in here that will work for me, but I didn't go "oooh!" like I usually do. Maybe I need to feel spring before I get excited about fall!

Random. I'm still waiting for Greenery (Spring choice) to take over the retail world. I can't quite figure out the usefulness of the Pantone proclamations.

Well, I am pretty happy with the choices.

The New York palette has 6(!) cool colors, and I like them all. Navy, burgundy and blush has been my favorite combo for a while and I am very happy to see all the three colors featured. I also like the mid blue, grey and spruce green - maybe we will finally see more cool greens in the retail.

The London palette is too warm from me, but I will take the Blue Bell and Royal Lilac and add them to the first 6 colors.

London palette seems to have happier looking shades than NY palette. Other than that they seem to be the usual colors except for the pale pink that is extending its season.

Love the NY ones esp grenadine and ballet slipper! My pale pinks and orange reds will be on trend this NZ autumn.

Well, seeing the mustard yellows and golden olive gives me hope for some fall clothing love! If it was a F/W colour forecast for Toronto, it would be black and grey!

Lisap, there was a window display in my hometown's high-end kitchen/bathroom refurbisher that was devoted to Greenery! Tiles, painted cupboards, wallpaper, and paints swatches. Fresh!

I like several of the colors. From NY, the two blues, the grey, the port, and lime. From London, the two blues and the two greens.

I love them and the colors would look good on me except for grenadine and buttercream.

Not feeling the London palette.

honestly I feel all these colors have been around ("in fashion") for a while. They just rename them.

I like many of the New York colors, more than the London palette.

Was hoping for a nice aubergine or some deep periwinkle.

I like the London palette best but like grenadine and the olive from New York's.

I like New York, London not so much. It's interesting that they are so different.

I like the top row, but honestly have never noticed these colors having a huge impact at retail.

I like Shaded Spruce (duh, it's kind of teal) but most of the others are too muddy for my taste.

Loving many of these warm colours like the browns, mustard and olive. Hope they appear in stores.

Completely agree with Lisap! When the fashion used to be more uniform, I would at lease see some of the colors trickle down to the global/mass market - remember cobalt jeans from a few years back? Now that there is even more variety, I see zero - and I mean zero - influence of these colors over here. In fact, I think global retailers like Zara and Mango, pretty much only produce stuff in neutral colors. I really miss the variety.

But aren't these colours taken from what the designers are showing in the fall fashion shows for clothing to come out later in 2017? So you wouldn't expect those colours yet. And Northern Hemisphere used to influence Southern Hemisphere for decades but now it is a tiny bit more two-way? And was there truth in Miranda Priestly's famous line in The Devil Wears Prada about "cerulean" and how it trickled into the mass market?

Ohh! I look the dark peony and navy colour.

I am more at home with the NY colours, but both strike me as a move away from 'true' autumn colours. Stretching them, you might say. It's good to stretch every now and then

Thanks for posting this UmmLila. I find these colors interesting. Like Shevia, I find it puzzling that in my area there are often few if any items offered in the proposed Pantone colors for the season. The standards continue to be black, white, grey (charcoal), and sometimes a shade of forest green or navy blue. For a color there is often bright Orange because that is the color of the local college sports team. I personally would love to find something in the London red, which is my favorite color in the grouping. I also like the pink and navy, but I sincerely doubt I will find those colors this fall in Central New York! (Funny to have a palette inspired by New York that does not apply to New York State! )

I'm immediately drawn to Navy Peony, Shaded Spruce, Neutral Gray and Tawny Port. I'd have to see the Tawny Port IRL, though, to determine if it's for me or not. It might be a color that I couldn't wear. Also, I'm in the mood to lighten up my colors a bit. I like the pink but am not sure if it would look good on me or not. I struggle with pinks. Like kkards said, I'm glad that Navy is being continued. It's a great neutral for me.

Not crazy about them for clothes but hoping they translate into home. Half of those colors are what I want to use in my new house. I want to do a colorful palette that is different from the gray and monochromatic ones that have been on trend for the past 10 years.

I like the most of the New York colors but only a few of the London. It does seem like I mostly just see neutrals in the stores though.
