I really like the blues and bamboo, I always liked blue and yellow pairings. Kari on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you/page/2#post-297700 Sun, 13 Feb 2011 23:22:08 +0000 Kari 297700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ CocoLion, I'm not abandoning my gray/charcoal neutrals by any means. I've learned to love them too, and the medium-toned neutral goes well with my coloring. Just because other new colors are coming in doesn't mean that gray is automatically "out" or unstylish - it's just that we'll have fresh, new options to choose from this spring. If you like gray, it's probably good that you stocked up on it when you did if there will not be as many gray items available in stores as there were in the past couple years.

After decades of hating grey, I finally embraced it. I have three grey striped tops, a grey striped sweater, grey t-shirts in light, medium and dark shades, grey jeans, etc. I do like these colors, all of them really with the exception of bamboo which I can see only as an accent color on me.

I can see them, along with Honeysuckle, Orchid Hush, and Quarry paired with my neutrals (mainly gray and black) and then accented with splashes of Bamboo, Cedar, and Emberglow. I'm not crazy for Nougat and Coffee Liq.! Kari on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296886 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 04:16:18 +0000 Kari 296886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Deep teal and Phlox (what a name!), here I come. I've actually seen a lot of Cedar around already. Actually, yesterday at work 4 different people were wearing that shade. (Most of the rest of us were wearing various shades of purple, completely by accident.) I actually think orchid hush looks pretty, but will bypass nougat.

You are already ahead of the game.

I like all of these colors, except for coffee. I wonder if my new BR sweater is bamboo. <a href="http://bella-remixes.blogspot.com/2011/02/230.html" rel="nofollow">http://bella-remixes.blogspot.com/2011/02/230.html</a> Diana on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296339 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:29:31 +0000 Diana 296339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE LOVE LOVE.

These are colors that look good on me, I think, and that I really like, so I am wearing already. I just bought a teal sweater at the Gap and the honeysuckle is the only "pink" I wear, and I just wore "phlonx" yesterday !!! rae on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296313 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:26:02 +0000 rae 296313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Saw a similar article last night. On my home computer, the bamboo looked like a fun citron-esque shade... on this computer, it looks more like mustard. I hope it's the former! Heather on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296294 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:03:07 +0000 Heather 296294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maya, thanks for posting. I adore Phlox and Emberglow. Bamboo is a unique color, but don't think I can pull it off unfortunately. Barbara on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296269 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 13:47:06 +0000 Barbara 296269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maya, My favs are Phlox and Deep Teal. The coffee liqueur is a fabulous neutral that will look nice with my fair skin and dark ash blond hair. I love Pantone, THE fashion industry standard. I just got the Fall 2011 color cards for my new design studio- a collegue in Europe always sends them to me. WOOHOO! Thanks for posting! crwilson on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296246 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 11:27:24 +0000 crwilson 296246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm very happy to see some richer colors, and as deep teal is by far my favorite color on me, I'm going to be stocking up in the fall. It makes me feel happier than all of the earth tones I saw in stores last fall. rute on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296244 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 10:45:54 +0000 rute 296244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Loved! Love the deep teal!!! The coffee (I would mix those two right now)!!!!!!!! catgirl on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296164 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 05:05:37 +0000 catgirl 296164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As I was disappointed in the spring palette for me, this is looking better, but not particularly new. The bamboo looks interesting! MNsara on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296148 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 04:34:48 +0000 MNsara 296148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I adore the Bamboo and I think I'll really like the Teal and Coffee Liqueur. Bonus is I think l will like them with black and grey. Anything I can look forward to, so I don't dread (more) cold weather is wonderful news. Thanks, Maya!

Bamboo looks like a rich gold with a slight greenish cast. For myself, I like emberglow and cedar and maybe phlox if it isn't too pinkish. Maya on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296120 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 04:08:41 +0000 Maya 296120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Michelle, Bamboo is a unique shade. Not quite green, not quite yellow. A bit like citron, but not as bright. Emberglow is an orangey coral. Honeysuckle is the same pinky coral as spring. Phlox is a spectacular rich, saturated royal purple. Cedar is a pale, sagey green. More yellow than blue. Deep teal is….um…deep teal. Very pretty. More green than blue, unlike the turquoises of last year. Coffee liqueur is a dusty brown, unlike a rich chocolate brown. Nougat is beige. Gag. Orchid hush is a very pale, icy, pastel blue-purple color. Quarry looks like deep teal if you added a lot of white to it to lighten it. It's like a pastel teal. You will look particularly divine in phlox and deep teal! Angie on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296117 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 04:06:42 +0000 Angie 296117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So far, this is not the palette I'm seeing on the runways at NYFW (Fall 2011) - I think that Pantone might tweak their colours! Michelle on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296108 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 04:00:54 +0000 Michelle 296108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OOH, descriptions, please! If Maya likes the colours, I suspect I will too (I believe we favour similar shades)? Mo on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296063 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 02:36:58 +0000 Mo 296063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ hmm, I don't know who or what Pantone is and I usually just wear colors that look good on me that I like. The only time I remember a specific 'color of the season' was the pink everywhere in 2003. I suppose I just choose to pay attention to the parts of fashion I want to and just totally ignore others lol. Kate on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296061 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 02:32:42 +0000 Kate 296061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Given that different stores use different adaptations of these colors, I'm super excited! My favorites are bamboo and deep teal, and with some slight modifications I'm a fan of cedar, coffee liqueur, emberglow, and phlox.

Makes sense. Honeysuckle was deemed the color of the year last season. There was a great story on NPR this evening all about Pantone and color forecasting. <a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/02/10/133636541/the-business-of-color-company-sets-fashion-trends" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/2011/02/10/.....ion-trends</a> Aida on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296050 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 02:10:10 +0000 Aida 296050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks pretty similar to the spring palette. If Emberglow manifests in pinky-orange peaches I'm definitely going to stock up! I'll likely stay away from Bamboo (maybe I'll try as an accent, you're right it's an interesting color) and Honeysuckle (unless it turns into berry!), but the others I rather like. I certainly like this palette better than spring's! lyn* on "Fall 2011 colors: What say you?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-2011-colors-what-say-you#post-296047 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 02:08:24 +0000 lyn* 296047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Uhoh, none of those colours look good on me Boourns.
