In March, when Pantone Color Institute released the fall 2022 Pantone color trend reports for London and New York Fashion Week, I was surprised not to see more traditional colors. Instead it was rainbow including colors like Nosegay, a pale pink and Waterspout, a pastel blue. Rose Violet is exactly that, a bright festive rose violet. Unexpected for a winter palette, but not unwelcome.
