Jewellers take note—Fall 2011 colours are all about pairing bright colours with neutrals.

Fresh on the heels of New York Fashion Week, the Pantone Color Institute has released its picks for the fall’s hottest hues, information you can use when planning your purchases for the year.

“Designers take a painterly approach to fall 2011 by artfully combining bright colours with staple neutrals, reminiscent of how an artist would construct a stunning work of art,” said Pantone executive director Leatrice Eiseman. “Much like a painter’s masterpiece, there is a certain romance to this season’s palette.”

This year the warmth of fire emanates from ’emberglow,’ the drama of deep purple beckons from ‘phlox,’ ‘honeysuckle’ adds a punch of vibrant colour, and ‘deep teal’ calls to mind ocean depths. Neutrals like ‘coffee liqueur,’ ‘nougat,’ ‘orchid hush,’ and ‘quarry’ create balance.
