Pantone has announced that "for spring 2012 designers are inspired by diverse influences, showcasing a range of styles and lifestyles, from free and playful and light and breezy, to contemporary classics."
Spring is often represented as a time of rebirth. A time where people are optimistic for a brighter day and feel a great sense of renewal. Color helps people alter their mood and gives them the opportunity to try out new looks and color combinations.

The Pantone fashion color report for Spring 2012 announces the following colors and we like what we're seeing!

Tangerine Tango is a "vivacious and appealing refresher to enliven anyone's outlook this spring."

Solar Power provides a jolt of energy and radiates warmth and cheer.

Bellflower "excludes uniqueness and creativity."

Caberet "is a sensual and intense rosy-red," making it a great choice for summer!

Sodalite Blue will bring a sense of calm and works with every color in the 2012 palette.

Cockatoo adds a touch of whimsy to the palette and is sure to make a statement!

Margarita "lifts spirits with its refreshing ...
... and stimulating glow."

Sweet Lilac adds a romantic touch to the palette. The pinkish purple hue evokes a fresh scent of summer!

Driftwood is one of the neutral 2012 colors. The blend of beige and gray gives a somewhat weathered feel.
