What colors would you like to see for Spring 2009?

tano expert · May 26th, 2008, 11:55 PM

I know that Tano is working on their Spring 2009 colors now and I thought it would be fun for us to give them some ideas. Since we are going into summer and our heads are in the sun now, so to speak...

Which shade of each color do you think Tano should offer for NEXT spring???

(feel free to suggest repeats if you have a favorite)

Here is my try:

red: soft faded, earthy red- like the color of saffron
orange: apricot AGAIN!!!
yellow: mustard (Fall 2006) AGAIN!!!
green: pear green, or a bright green olive
blue: pool was tdf but maybe darken it one shade?
purple: dunno- lilac?
pink: I love ballet slipper pink or a dark berry pink or fuschia
brown: I loved the old boot brown the best.
black: of course
white: love it for summer! Any shade
natural: pale dove grey?

Definitely a bright fuchsia, maybe a bubblegum pink as well.

I like your suggestions but I'd also add:

blue: a cornflower blue
red: cherry red

It would be neat to see a kelly green and a lighter, caramel type of brown shade.

I would like to see a lavender and a grass green (like the Coach color grass). A rose color which would be the color of Sedona Sunset would
also be nice. I do love the pool color and would keep in in the lineup, that color should not be changed.

How about a rich butterscotch
Pearl again (love it)
lime green-the color of a real lime
Pool a couple shades deeper
Berry-reddish purple

I think I would like to see a yellow, but maybe a "banana" yellow.

My other suggestions all seem to have been take, for instance:

carmel or butterscotch. So, I must be in the yellow hue frame of mind. Also, I must be thinking of food.

ooh im liking the sound of butterscotch...tano did a color called butterscotch a few springs ago and it was pretty. Liz, can you post a pic of the coach colors that you are talking about?

Turquoise!

blue - I'd like to a see a blue more in the purple range than the green range. Like Youngster's cornflower suggestion, or a periwinkle.
orange - Something a bit lighter and yellowy, like a pansy.
green - Both pear and a true lime sound lovely.
red - I love your saffron idea TE. I would also love to see a repeat of Bordeaux, but it's not very spring-like!

hissyfit...great illustrations!!!!!!

I'd like to see a really beautiful, rich turquoise.
I think lavender is too pastel for my tastes but I'd definitely like to see some more purple.
Maybe with a bit of an electric hue to it.
The cornflower/periwinkle sounds amazing!

hissyfit · May 27th, 2008, 10:27 AM

For purple, my mind goes to my neighbour's passionale tulips, which are so beautiful right now.

Thanks Rose! I've been eyeing everybody's gardens when I walk the kids to school, lol!

TE, I'm stealing your rainbow list idea :)

red: Cherry lip-gloss red
orange: A tangerine -- sort of like this season's apricot, but a bit lighter and more neutral
yellow: A daffodil yellow, incidentally named "Daffodil"
green: A bright emerald
blue: A gorgeous, deep blue-green
purple: Iris purple
pink: A mid-tone, bright carnation pink
brown: A saddle or caramel color
black: Maybe a blue-tinged black?
white: How about eggshell?
natural: A light tan or buff-pink color
