Pantone’s colours of 2019 take inspiration from nature’s earthy tones and cosy comfort food
Autumn/Winter 2019 colour trends are all about experimental colours in unexpected shades: think butter yellow, pistachio green and dark cheddar. That’s right, according to Pantone’s colours of 2019, fashion is taking inspiration from cheese….
A sharp blend of yellow and orange, Pantone’s Dark Cheddar is a vibrant orange in its newly released palette of culinary-inspired colours: Chili Pepper, Peach Pink, Rocky Road, Fruit Dove and Sugar Almond. Think marmalade, maple, or orange ochre – we’re talking the colour of Autumn pumpkins and falling leaves, but with a sharper twist.
Attention-grabbing, sunny, energetic and uplifting, orange’s strong shade speaks of vitality and beauty. If this vibe speaks to you, go all-in on the Autumn/Winter 2019 colour trend with Fashtory’s pick – Vihi Wadhwani’s block-printed maxi dress.
Associated with sunsets and citrus fruit, orange is both warm and refreshing; not to mention peaceful – in some Eastern cultures it’s linked to spirituality. But orange can also be overwhelming, so style it with a crisp white shirt to keep it understated, or tone it down with neutral browns for a fashionable ’70s palette.
Even easier, browse Fashtory to pick a print with a dash of dark cheddar like Muna Mattar’s striped dress or Helene Bajaj Larsen’s graduated prints; or follow PoseArazzi’s lead and add an accent of the Pantone colour to black.
