In fact, if I was to give it my own name, it would be ‘light oxblood’. <a href="https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2023" rel="nofollow">https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2023</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year/page/2#post-2294252 Sun, 04 Dec 2022 17:04:25 +0000 Angie 2294252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>April</b>, sometimes a fan.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year/page/2#post-2294233 Sun, 04 Dec 2022 15:50:31 +0000 Roberta 2294233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought two sweaters in this color family, and they make me really happy on a gray day. Wearing them with red velvet pants and charcoal grey and jeans.

I wonder if that would have affected him?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2294086 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 16:22:46 +0000 April 2294086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, are you a fan of Schiaparelli?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I love this color of the year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I once read that Oscar Wilde "had a horror of magenta."&nbsp; Luckily for him, he died 62 years before Pantone became a company. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2294080 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 15:17:19 +0000 Angie 2294080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll continue to carry the Team torch for shocking pink :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2294064 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 14:01:25 +0000 kkards 2294064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I’m not sure that I’ll actually see people IRL wearing this color, but its fun…<br />I think I’ll stick to an occasional pop of fuchsia, burgundy or just plan pink.</p> <p>one thing i will mention, colors and color trend are not just about fashion. As someone who works in retail, but not in fashion, we follow and are very invested in color trend, and often &nbsp;look to car companies as trend leaders, but home decor, appliances etc are also very very invested in and influenced by color &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2294061 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 13:19:01 +0000 Anonymous 2294061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's definitely a wide range on that article. The redder, quieter versions I like and may wear, but the brighter is way too much like Radiant Orchid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2294000 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 02:56:09 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2294000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, I don’t even know which exact one the NYT piece means; the swatch midway through the piece is a very different color than the pullover the model is wearing in the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293992 Sat, 03 Dec 2022 02:05:45 +0000 rachylou 2293992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a good colour for me, but I also think… the NYT is kinda right, lol.

The tone in Kate’s dress works for me, the brighter one, not so much.<br /> The “new” color I’m seeing at events (dressy clothing) is bright and somewhere between hot pink and purple but I have no idea what it’s called. It’s similar to the bright mustard color in both brightness and intensity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293876 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 18:10:47 +0000 JAileen 2293876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293871 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 17:29:37 +0000 Joyce B 2293871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, I love magenta and hope to see more of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293870 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 17:24:11 +0000 Lesley 2293870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, absolutely one of my favorites!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293869 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 17:16:31 +0000 Carla 2293869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ JAileen - I was thinking what you were thinking </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293868 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 17:01:16 +0000 Peri 2293868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this color and also loved Radiant Orchid. Unfortunately, I've never noticed that these colors of the year have much impact on anything at all.

Unfortunately, jewel tones have been pushed to the retail sidelines in recent years and they're overdue for a comeback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293840 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 14:43:39 +0000 Anonymous 2293840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293831 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 14:08:36 +0000 CarolS 2293831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve become fascinated with magenta in recent years and i would wear it happily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293826 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 13:39:08 +0000 Helena 2293826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Suz, now I'm traumatized that NYT hates my muted pinks lol!!</p> <p>I agree with you Janet ... I'm not sure this translates to much in retail ... But always fun to see what they pick and why! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293824 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 13:25:55 +0000 RobinF 2293824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it - especially the slightly less bright versions. I agree though, rarely see colors of the year in retail.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293817 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 12:35:13 +0000 Janet 2293817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty color, but wasn’t this year supposed to be periwinkle? A color I love but found almost nothing in it, so my hopes are not high for seeing much of the “color of the year” at retail. Everyone still seems to be on the pale pink, mustard, and tan kick. All colors that don’t speak to me. Bring on the lovely saturated jewel tones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2023-pantone-color-of-the-year#post-2293812 Fri, 02 Dec 2022 11:21:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2293812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! It’s a berry good color. I can’t name a fruit that looks just like it, but it’s certainly in that spectrum. </p>
