“It’s one of the biggest surprises of the season, because you don’t always see a retro, aquatic green,” Eiseman said. “It brings a bit of life into earth tones.”

A more yellowed take on green, the shade is best contrasted with less vibrant earth tones, Eiseman said.

“We’re seeing the continuation of that brownish feeling,” Eiseman said. “This isn’t an ordinary reddish-brown, it has a little bit more of a pecan touch.”

More nostalgic than the pinks of past seasons, the shade nods to Eiseman’s emphasis on more veiled or quiet tints.

Evocative of the vibrancy of a party or celebration, “it’s something to be happy about,” Eiseman said. “These brighter shades are colors that definitely say ‘let’s have a party.’”

The rich brown “is to bring a new feeling in, to mix it in a different way with other colors. You’re going to see all kinds of those mixes,” Eiseman said. “This is a red-toned brown with a real rich depth attached to it.”

“If you look at the history of it, people loved it or didn’t, and then the environmental movement became really important,” Eiseman said. “We look at this like a classic color.”

Meant to mimic the color of a clear sky, “this adds a cooling element to the palette. It’s the only real blue,” Eiseman said. “It also adds this feeling of excitement. We usually think of blues as being a bit more tranquil but this one just pumps it up.”

“We have the classic staples and the power colors that feel dependable,” Eiseman said of the green, which brings the hue into more neutral territory.

“It’s a bit different than our Cloud Dancer color of the year,” Eiseman said. “It’s a creamier, fitting take for fall.”

“It has this steady, smooth, warm neutral quality that you look at and you know it,” she said. “It’s a deeper beigey tone. We call it a multitasking color.”

“This is going to stay in your closet for a while, it has some relevance,” Eiseman said. “This is a color the consumer is comfortable with.”

“You could use this with any of the top 10 colors,” Eiseman said. “It’s a mid-tone gray, which means it’s very versatile and you don’t really get a temperature from it. It’s not warm, it’s not cool, it’s right in the middle which makes it much more of a staple.”
Poseidon 19-4033

“To make this a dull navy felt like a disservice to the color, and we felt this was just the right shade to get that feeling of a little bit of a lift,” Eiseman said. “It’s meditative, but it’s bumped up.”
