Colour Inspiration – A/W ’16-17 – “Warm Taupe”
The extensive family of neutrals is probably the strongest group of colors for fall‘17-18, easily filtering across all markets and fabrics or patterns. These ‘new neutrals’ are sellable, seasonless options having a certain subtle masculine undercurrent running through them.
Folk stone and bounty become the new khaki and camel for the season, with slight pink and green casts. Like other groups, this becomes one of the most essential colours for outerwear and knits. The new taupe for the season is a cooler version of khaki with a bit of a pink cast.
Adding dimension to basic silhouettes and classic jackets or outerwear, it’s a neutral to watch for in the coming seasons. The shade suggests reassurance and stability – it is trusted, organic, grounded and timeless in nature.
