I always love when WWD runs the Pantone color chart that lists the colors picked by designers for the upcoming season. They break down, percentage-wise, the colors that are most prominent on the runway for the season — an easy way to see what will be in vogue, and what colors to perhaps retire for the upcoming season. Below are the colors, and the percentage of designers who used them during New York Fashion Week.
