 A COLORFUL 2015 SUMMER IN PROSPECT 

Although, thankfully, the summer will see plenty of colors, this season they will be less loud. They will play a more refined score.

We talk of discoloration for bleached pastels with a hint of albino. We play with gradations of aqua and celadon shades. We strengthen pigmentary tones to better stifle them, by combining purples with grey-browns and oranges with changing dark greens.

Yellow, from fresh chick to aniseed verdi yellow is already the season's favorite and seems to be a 

recurring theme.

  THE SUMMER 2015 COLOUR PALETTE IN CLOSE-UP   

Summer 15 sees colors become calmer, mellow and more sophisticated.

A white haze softens pastels, which take on an ethereal air, sky-blue and green become celadon, violet is greyer and yellow is tender.

Beige and sandy colors are elegant whilst white is pearlised and lightens pale grey.

The neutrals, Kraft and taupe, are given a rough ride by blotting paper pink and bamboo green.

Summer darks are lightened by floral purples and ochre yellow, whilst greens are deep and changing.

Aqua blues, from ink to zephyr, are indispensable.

The essentials:
Yellows, from chick to sunflower
Blues, from bleached sky to the abyss
Purples, from grey violet to cardinal
And lastly... White and off-white, to be used without moderation.
