I've always worn a lot of green and would also go for Greenery if I see it. Glad to see the more yellow greens are coming back. I'm also happy to see blush will still be around. Other than that, I like Lapis. Flame is ok too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour/page/2#post-1755349 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 12:58:18 +0000 Kaelyn 1755349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm actually wearing "flame" and "kale" today. Ha! I don't pay a ton of attention to what season it is when I pick colors to wear. I really like "lapis" and would definitely wear it. Blue is my favorite color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour/page/2#post-1755338 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 12:26:55 +0000 Style Fan 1755338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I loved Marsala and saw a lot of it in retail.&nbsp; I like Kale if it is a warm green and maybe some of the others.&nbsp; </p> <p>I am noticing lots of warm earth tones in the B &amp; M which makes me very happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour/page/2#post-1755292 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 05:50:27 +0000 anne 1755292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like&nbsp;Lapis Blue, island paradise&nbsp;and the pink Yarrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755142 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 20:21:23 +0000 cheryl 1755142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like greenery and the whole bottom row:) wouldn't mind more of these colors in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755080 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 16:36:32 +0000 columbine(erin) 1755080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These flats at Boden caught my eye.

The others seem represented. Niagara is a shade that looks great with my eyes and isn't always around (at least not where I could find it...I remember one year there seemed to be only cobalt and electric blues), so I've picked up a few things in that shade. I hope blush sticks around. I like wearing it with burgundy, lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755043 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 15:11:19 +0000 Angie 1755043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all ACCEPT for the Niagara and Kale - too muddy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755041 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 15:07:57 +0000 Marilyn 1755041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those aren't my colours.&nbsp; Club Monaco currently has several items that they are calling Lapis.&nbsp; Their version of lapis is darker than the Pantone swatch and is quite nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755030 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 14:37:56 +0000 Astrid 1755030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Niagara. And the Hazelnut, maybe. Meh on the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755027 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 14:24:11 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1755027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pale dogwood, the hazelnut and the kale. It will be interesting to see how these are used in the coming year. I'm actually really glad to see the blush color because I hope it sticks around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755018 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 13:49:14 +0000 Janet 1755018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Niagara and lapis are nice on me, but nothing different. Kale too. But I don't see anything here to get excited about. A rich purple would be welcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755016 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 13:45:51 +0000 Elizabeth P 1755016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of these are "my" colours.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755013 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 13:38:29 +0000 Suz 1755013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow is brilliant on you, and mustard -- so I hope you find some. The kale might also work on you, and some of those blues?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755004 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 12:47:47 +0000 LaPed 1755004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mostly too warm and muddy for me. Pink Yarrow and Lapis would work with my wardrobe. I like Kale and Niagara but find those colors harder to incorporate. I'm actually wearing a newish hoodie right now that's close to Kale, but softer/grayer --sort of on the line between olive and spruce (I think the colorway was called Kelp). &nbsp;</p> <p>I feel like the pastels here -- Pale Dogwood, Island Paradise, and Hazelnut -- are pretty well represented at retail. They make me think of Everlane's palette.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1755001 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 12:18:56 +0000 cindysmith 1755001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're pretty enough colors, but I don't see myself buying any of them. We probably will see them in fashion, although how much of them we'll see is a mystery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754996 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 12:04:58 +0000 Tanya 1754996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting set of colors.&nbsp; As usual, I like all the cooler ones:&nbsp; all the three blues and two pinks, and I could probably do some cooler versions of Hazelnut and Kale in smaller doses. In general I plan to stay away from Primrose Yellow, Flame and Greenery, though I do have a pair of bright yellow wellies of fun.&nbsp; I have spent some time looking at Spring 2017 fashion shows and there were tons of various shades of yellow and pink, we will see if they will filter to retail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754987 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 10:37:29 +0000 Summer 1754987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only the lighter blues and, possibly, Pale Dogwood (in small doses).<br />It looks like 2017&nbsp; will be a "warm" year.&nbsp; I hope that will be true for temperatures as well as fashion colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754972 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 07:41:07 +0000 Barbara Diane 1754972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like lapis blue the best.

Their clients are not just clothing companies, but automobile manufacturers, makers of household items, pots and pans, everything.<br /> The colors make take more than a year to filter down, but many do. They try to take the pulse of the people...do they want exciting or calming, security or something new, etc. I saw colors that I could not believe would be on our walls or cars, but they were. I think there are more colors picked than there used to be.<br /> Some of these look familiar. Flame is like tomato red. Pale dogwood looks like blush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754963 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 05:06:33 +0000 Carla 1754963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From BR, J Crew, Ann Taylor, Zara...</p> <p>I'm hoping to find more yellow in stores (so Primrose). I'm starting to think of it as my happy colour. Also, Niagara, and the two greens - Kale mostly, but a bright green like Greenery works for me. Hot pink is big. I tried on a lovely Joe Fresh down puffer, but it really does not work with my colouring. </p> <p>Interesting that purple isn't represented, nor red - unless you count Flame, which looks orange to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754955 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 04:28:16 +0000 Ledonna N. 1754955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flame is calling my name but I have not one clue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754945 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 03:31:46 +0000 rachylou 1754945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suppose I like the kale and hazelnut. I think they're all nice really, but not for the long haul. Having said that, the blues are growing on me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754927 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 03:11:55 +0000 Jaime 1754927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone actually ever seen a clear connection between these colors and what they see at the retail level? I would try the pink, the orange, the greens and the blues. The names do not excite me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754926 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 03:10:41 +0000 Alassë 1754926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Possibly Greenery.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754921 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 02:57:41 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1754921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of them (quite unusual for me and the Pantone color set). That Niagara is one of my best colors (I got a Theory suit that calls itself Niagara at NAS last year) &nbsp;because it is a good match with my eyes. But I also like the pinks and greens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-colour#post-1754916 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 02:38:11 +0000 Suz 1754916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back when I was a kid, I had wallpaper in stripes of kale and lapis with cream. So yeah, I can see them in decorating. None of them makes me excited for my wardrobe, though.&nbsp;</p> <p>What colours are you in search of?&nbsp; </p>
