Spring might be around the corner, but that won't stop us from looking even further ahead. After examining the Fall collections at New York Fashion Week, the Pantone Color Institute has just revealed what it thinks will be the top 10 colors for Fall. "The most popular colors for Fall really represent a thoughtful palette. That's a direct outcome of what's happening in the world around us," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, who also noted that somber yet hopeful colors reflect the troubling economy. The colors, seen below, are a sweet mix of subtle jewel tones along with varying forms of beige.
