Color is really important when it comes to fashion, and that includes accessories like jewelry. Sure, we have the usual metal colors - gold, silver, brass, copper - but with the integration of all kinds of elements from fibers to stones, color is not just about clothing any more.

To keep up with all the latest and greatest color choices for next season (which considering it's already August it's way past time to get ready), Patone is THE place for color expertise and forcasts:

Headquartered in Carlstadt, N.J., Pantone, Inc. is the world-renowned authority on color and provider of color systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of color across a variety of industries. The PANTONE® Name is known worldwide as the standard language for color communication from designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer.

So, what are they forcasting for this coming season? Neutrals are always a fall favorite, but this season look for more grays, apple cinnamon, and deep jewel tones of purple, red, and blue. You can see more in a PDF file linked on their web site. It's definitely worth printing out on your color printer and keeping handy during the next few months.
