Color Mark: Cool Summer Hues

I can't believe the Color Mark Section has been on the back burner for over a month now... but today it is back! The summer in one part of the world is starting will start to fade away soon and the winter months in another part of the world will start to warm up.

Colors to match Pantone: Warm Grey 11 C, 7535 C, 9163 C, 624 C, 561 C

I thought this image was the perfect marriage of that summer trend with cooler shades and hues. the Aqua color of the dress with the ivory accents changes completely from a summer outfit to a transitional piece surrounded by cooler colors and illumination. I took this photo on one of my trips to NY while walking back to my hotel late at night.

Have a great summer or winter day!
