Spring is all about happy hues, the brighter the better. Every season, color expert Pantone comes out with a list of relevant, trendy colors.

Fashion Week has begun, and you know what that means: time for Pantone Color Institute to announce its top 10 colors for Spring '10. The verdict? A mix of bright and neutral tones. “It’s a cautious optimism, however, because no one can ignore the elephant still in the room — the recession,” said Leatrice Eiseman of the Pantone Color Institute. Violet ranked in as number one for its exciting yet cool tone; Tomato Puree made its mark as the passionate color of choice; Fusion Coral was chosen for its flattering nature to all skin tones; and Amparo Blue was picked for its warm undertones. Interesting!
