Independence: Spring 2009 Color Forecast
Tod Schulman, Vice President - Pantone Fashion and Home, Pantone Inc.
From a color standpoint, the spirit of Independence is a step ahead of individuality. It’s the opposite of globalization and focuses on the not so obvious. It celebrates the individuals whose contribution may be small in scale but giant in the spirit of doing things that mean a lot to smaller communities. For Spring/Summer 2009 let's focus our attention on entertaining ourselves with the diversity and variety of color to enable greater choices.
