Valentine’s Day Sale And Pantone Spring 2018 Colors

Happy early Valentine’s Day everyone! 

As we are getting closer to spring, most of us are starting to think about our spring wardrobes. So instead of doing a style feature today, I thought this would be a good opportunity to take a look at Pantone’s Spring 2018 color trends. This spring they have chosen 12 colors as key colors for spring with Ultra Violet being the “color of the year”.

I would love to hear your thoughts on these colors in the comments today – What are your favorites?
