Pantone Prophets Predict Palette

They have done it again. Pantone is out with the fall 2007 color report. This fall, women’s fashion colors will be bold and dramatic. No neutrals for us, kids.

The yellow color they have chosen is called “Lemon Curry” - a fitting name as it looks exactly like the color of dhalDha is a lentil sauce that, combined with rice, is a staple in Bangladesh where I grew up. Oh… and the connection with curry would be that rice and dahl is the foundation for a curry meal. Check it out: Pantone’s Lemon Curry vs. Mom’s Beef Curry on rice and dhal.

Now if they can just capture the color of the new rice growing in the patties… Impossible I’m afraid.
