And how much do you imagine you're influenced by fashion trends? And are you aware of the business of Pantone? Most people seem to let themselves be led very easily.
What Is the Perfect Color Worth? Inside the mysterious art — and big business — of color forecasting.
By Bruce Falconer
Since I have lived with defective color perception all my life, I pay no attention to color at all.
I have never allowed myself to be a slave of "fashion", so I happily wear my Red Wing boots, jeans, and work shirts every day.
I have no idea what "Pantone" is, so it is meaningless.
That was a fascinating article. I learned about color forecasting from seeing "The Devil Wears Prada."
The only thought I give to color is how it makes me feel and how it looks on me. It may be en vogue, but if I find it ugly, it depresses me, or it does not look attractive on me, I will never wear it.
I have a love and appreciation for all colors. There are some I wouldn't wear, but might decorate with and vice versa. There's colors that don't look good on me, but I can see others pull them off. I just really like color!
The color forecasting is important, since it dictates what the main color palette will be fkr the season. Fir example, let’s say you know you want colorful plates. This year you are going to go to the store and see all sorts of lavendar home goods. And nail polish.
Let’s say you are like me and have a specific set of favorite colors in your wardrobe. This season my palette is going to be really hard to find in stores.

I'm not that interested in fashion forecasting. I know what palettes are flattering on me, and it is rare that there are no colors available that work and suit my tastes. Even if a given hue is the season's shade, there are always many colors available.
It really is fairly inconsequential to me. The odds of not being able to find denim, black, and charcoal are slim no matter what is deemed the Pantone color of the year.

With my favorite brand, Fairy Tale went on hiatus in 2016, but made a return for Spring 2017 and Spring 2018 has a lot of it (the most since Spring 2015).
I wear the colors I like. I don't care if they are trendy or not. I don't know how they make me look, other than that they play up the color of my eyes.
I shop at thrift stores so I don't care if the stores are filled with particular colors. I remember many years ago when the powers that be decided olive green, gold, rust and plum were THE colors. You saw them in all the stores. Oprah wore them every day. Aside from plum I find them yucky.
As Katharine Hepburn once said, "Fashion is for the uncourageous."
