Pantone’s forecast for top colors of 2013 were just released and here are the winners! The selections build upon the need for balance – mixing energizing brights with novel neutrals. Number one is a muted navy – Monaco Blue. Very conservative compared to last year’s Tangerine Tango. My money was on number 4 – Grayed Jade. (Still in the top 5!)  In the coming year, we’ll see these colors in everything from fashion to wedding colors.

I love a clean navy and white palette – you can’t go wrong with this classic combination. For those more daring brides, a Monaco Blue also pairs nicely with a bold yellow or orange.

Here’s a look at Pantone’s predictions from 2012. Tangerine Tango was selected as the number one.
