Top 10 Pantone Fashionable Color Trends For Fall 2013! Featuring Deep Lichen Green

Pantone Fall 2013 Color Trends Featuring Deep Linchen GreenPantone’s 2013 Fall Color Trends Featuring Deep Lichen Green

Gorgeous Green! Deep Lichen Green is a naturally lush green tone that is dynamic and can adapt to both ends of the seasonal spectrum. Green is traditionally a very stylish, in demand color in all shades and as we move into the cooler months of the year, the deeper or more muted green tones reveal their modish popularity.

There are many greens to choose from in the Swarovski world and as the color becomes deeper and richer there are subtle differences within each one to give you a distinct look for each new design. The amalgamation of the deep green tones along with a hit of lime color creates a naturally rich ensemble to Olivine, making it as one of the most popular colors Swarovski has made. Olivine Satin is a deeper hue of Olivine, one that has a slight silvery finish providing an antique appearance and one that comes alive in the fall and winter months. Khaki is similar to Olivine, but is a little more muted and doesn’t have as much yellow infused. Fern Green resembles a blade of grass with its vibrant accents and the new Dark Green Moss color has deeper richer expression.

Highlight any of the deep greens with a sparkling yellowish AB coating, which pairs beautifully with the Fall color palate. Olivine AB or Khaki AB will convey an elegant touch of sparkle and if you fancy an explosion of sparkle, try the brilliant Olivine AB 2X.
