PANTONE 18-1663 Chinese Red, PANTONE 19-1557 Chili Pepper
The color of excitement, red’s message is ardent and impassioned.   The true Chinese Reds we are seeing this season create an exciting combination when worn with monochrome grays or blue graphite while the new emerging deeper wine reds provide a nice contrast to champagne beige as well as a variety of greens including garden green, winter green and sprucestone.

PANTONE 18-2143 Beetroot Purple
