Fall/Winter 2012-2013: Eggplant, Midnight Blue, Green Ultramarine, Yellow

The color palette of women's coats of fall/winter 2012-2013 is made of subdued and bright colors and details of natural palette. Aristocratic aubergine, seductive cobalt, noble ultramarine and energizing yellow are the shades of the season.


Eggplant
or Aubergine - the shades of deep purple and lilac - give some sophistication and grandeur to the look. You know most neutrals work well with eggplant: silver, white, off-white, cream and black. Browns, golds and greens all work well. I would stay away from colors that are similar in temperature.


Midnight Blue or Cobalt is one of the bright vivid colors of the upcoming autumn and winter. It is always safe no matter where you go: office, party or shopping. Mix it with golden yellow, tan, light brown, gray or silver. Brown with gold accents also looks really sharp next to deep blue. And if you're going for a bolder look, a yellow, tomato orange or red is your choice.


Ultramarine Green - such a fun color to transition from spring to fall. It's a deep, cooling blue-green, from a blend of jade to mint tones. It's destined to be one of the most prominent hues for fall 2012. The depth and beauty of color emphasizes its combination with black. Consider also brown, gray, navy blue, reds, gray, tan, creamy white. For a fresh bright look, mix ultramarine green with orange hues: honey gold, tangerine, tomato.


Yellow, from lemon to pale. Not sure if yellow is your color? Try it on with neutrals. Mustard yellow is a grown-up version among neon or soft pale shades. The pale neon shade would be perfectly paired with navy, black, or white. Colors to consider: browns, blues, gray, tan, reds, blues, purples.
