According to the article, “Pantone’s Top 10 Colors for Fall 2016” in WWD, 8-23% of designer collections surveyed by the institute incorporated these top six colors of Riverside, Airy Blue, Sharkskin, Aurora Red, Warm Taupe, and Dusty Cedar into looks for this fall 2016 season. Four more colors are in the mix that you may also expect to see for fall, ranging from a dusty pink to dusty clay, and a pop of Ziggy Stardust-inspired purple.
