What colors are "in" for winter fashion?

According to Pantone, the authority on color, "Designers recognize the desire for fundamental basics that speak to current economic conditions, but also understand the need to incorporate vibrant color…"

• American Beauty – a true red which works with all skin tones

• Purple Heart – a medium, refined purple which works well with red

• Honey Yellow – a warm gold; pair it with purple

• Burnt Sienna – a deep shade of autumn orange; pair it with Nomad and Rapture Rose

• Rapture Rose – fuchsia softened by pink; an unexpected pop of color for clothing, cosmetics and accessories

• Warm Olive – a sophisticated, rich yellow-green

• Majolica Blue – a deep, vibrant teal shade; pair it with Burnt Sienna or Purple Heart

New "neutrals" include these gray/brown combinations:

• Iron - a grayish brown

• Crème Brulee – a beige with gray undertones

• Nomad – another beige with lighter gray undertones
