Fashion Week is underway and today, Pantone revealed the top 10 colors for spring 2007.
This year the runways will radiate with surprising neutrals and innovative splashes of corals, yellows and purples.
Each season, Pantone surveys the designers showing at New York Fashion Week to collect feedback on prominent collection colors, color inspiration, color philosophy and each designer's signature shade.
This information is used to create the PANTONE Fashion Color Report and serves as a reference tool throughout the year for fashion enthusiasts, reporters and retailers.
"Most often, colors are not completely reinvented each season," observes Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
"Instead, they evolve from one season to the next.
The Apple Cinnamon of fall, for example, becomes the Café Crème of spring.
What does change each season is the variation of the colors, and/or the combinations of colors.
While navy, black and white are still a presence for spring 2007, designers are choosing a greater variety of neutrals as the canvas for this season's captivating new hues."

Designed by Disney, with input from Raven, the line features must-have looks for trend-forward girls ages 7 to 16 years old.
The new apparel and accessories collections arrived exclusively at Wal-Mart stores throughout Canada this August and are already proving to be a hit with strong sales performance.
The first collections "Free to Be Me" and "Mystic Chic" feature an eclectic mix of fun details, rich textures and a deep color palette of berries, turquoise and black.
Bright colors liven up cool fall days, while embellished garments are detailed with embroideries, faux precious stones and beading offering girls an imaginative way to express themselves.
Soft knits capture the fashion essence of winter using tweed yarns for an ultimate layered look. Both collections play up the importance of denim in a tween girl's life and offer her many ways to personalize and dress up outfits for special occasions or down for a subtle chic look.
