Ahead of the pastel pack
I just heard that Pantone has released its colour palettes for 2016, including one they call Ephemera, featuring “delicate shades of wan blue, pale peach and tender yellow”. Well, ahem, what have I been saying for about 3 years, with our Acid Pastel and Sweet & Sharp Lookbook images? Way ahead of ya, Pantone! PS: If you’re loving …
