The Pantone Spring 2017 Fashion Color Report serves as an overview of designers’ color choices in new clothing collections. The colors are important for jewelers to know so they can help customers successfully color-block accessories. Here are five ways your peers suggest others color-block with Pantone’s Hazelnut.
“Hazelnut is a key neutral for spring 2017. This shade brings to mind a natural earthiness. Unpretentious and with an inherent warmth, Hazelnut is a transitional color that effortlessly connects the seasons.” —Pantone
1. Pair hazelnut with pink stones and yellow gold to enhance the softness of the tawny color.
