The Pantone Spring 2017 Fashion Color Report provides an overview of designers’ color choices in their new clothing collections. It’s important that jewelers know these seasonal choices, so they can help customers successfully color-block accessories. Here are five ways to color-block with Pantone’s Lapis Blue.
“Convey energy with Lapis Blue. Strong and confident, this intense blue shade is imbued with an inner radiance.” —Pantone
1. Suggest a soft and unexpected style—pink gold—for shoppers wearing Lapis Blue attire.
