Color is a very effective form of communication, and we say a lot about ourselves through the colors we wear and use. 

Designers bring splashes of sunshine for the Spring 2010.
“Now more than ever, women are vigilant when it comes to spending,” said Leatrice Eiseman,  executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
“Instead of reinventing their wardrobe at the start of each season, consumers want pieces to complement what they already own. Pairing a bold color with a basic piece or freshening up their look with bright accents addresses the need for practicality, as well as fun.”
