Michelle, I have copied here the text on the Pantone site that describes these colors somewhat.g
Flirtatious Honeysuckle is a feel-good hue that brings a festive
sense of playfulness to this season’s palette. This vibrant
pinkish-red for both apparel and cosmetics makes consumers
feel alive, and is a perfect post-winter pick-me-up.
Spicy, gregarious and persuasive describe Coral Rose, a
sophisticated orange that, much like Beeswax, a warm,
honeyed yellow, conjures up feelings of faraway lands and
locales. Pair either of these piquant hues with a cool,
refreshing color-wheel opposite like Regatta for a vibrant
color combination that will add zest to any wardrobe.
Romantic, fanciful Lavender implies sensuality with its
subtle hint of red undertone. Combine it with Beeswax or
Coral Rose for a unique counterpoint.
Alluring Blue Curacao evokes thoughts of tropical destinations
and pays homage to the 2010 Color of the Year, Turquoise.
Practical consumers can continue to incorporate enticing
Caribbean blues into spring by pairing Blue Curacao with
warm, complementary colors like Honeysuckle or Coral Rose.
Peapod, a fresh yellow-green, brings an organic element to
the palette and is reminiscent of the green shoots that signify
change and new beginnings traditionally found in spring.
Trans-seasonal neutrals ground this season’s palette and
provide a stable backdrop for all the other colors. The
so-called “nude hues” are represented in the range of
ethereal Silver Peony to dramatically deep Russet.
Another dependable background color, Silver Cloud, is
the quintessential neutral that consumers can rely on to
coordinate with everything in their closet.
