Jean Pierre Madrigal: Jean Pierre Madrigal – Gradient - Fall 2011's Electric Color Trends

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
new york city, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 11, 2011 -- July 11, 2011 - It's hard not to think color when the world is coming up in full bloom, so why wait for autumn to try out fall's juiciest color trends? This February, we were thrilled to see that eye-popping, saturated hues weren't being fazed by the gray winter skies. If anything, dreary days only made the bottle greens, pinky fuchsias, and sunny marigolds all the more necessary. Check out the eight fall 2011 color trends that got our (Yves Klein) blue ribbon this season!

Fire-Engine Red—This season's red was bright and cheerful, unlike last season's oxblood trend. We love a simple silhouette that tempers the fiery hue.

Lemon Yellow—Less Easter-y than the pale yellows we've spotted in the past, spring 2011's lemon yellows were spotted on flowing-but-sporty skirts and tailored jackets.

Champagne—There were plenty of glittering nude gowns, but our favorite champagne looks included gleaming silk skirts and gauzy separates.

Felt Gray—Nubby, textured heather-grays with a luxe, felted finish feel utterly modern to us.

Marigold —Whether used as a background for a rich-feeling print or as the base color for the unexpected suiting of the season, marigold has come off the red carpet (remember Michelle Williams' gorgeous Oscar gown?) and shopping racks for fall!

Bottle Green —It's so easy for this shade of green to look more military-chic than elegant, but this season's hue managed to nail it. We love the idea of a head-to-toe bottle green in a subtle sheen.

Plum—Plum eggplant, grape...whatever your edible of choice, a rich purple feels fine for fall.

Yves Klein Blue—The French artist's favorite color made appearance after appearance on fall runways. This super-saturated blue is a sumptuous option for after-hour outfit ensembles.

Fuchsia—A little more electric than last season's honeysuckle, this shade of pink is electrifying as a stand-alone shade or as an accent color.
