Redhead Fall 2013: Color Report: Koi (Part 3)

Orange belongs to Autumn like a koi belongs to a fish pond (do you see what I did there?). And one of the Pantone fall colors is a gorgeous deep shade of orange called Koi. The official website described koi as a "decorative orange with dazzling and shimmering qualities, is a statement color that serves as a pick-me-up for your wardrobe."

The Perfect Palette knows that orange and fall goes together. 

Pumpkins have the perfect shade of orange for the fall. 

Pantone combines Koi with Turbulence.

 And that is pretty much all I would recommend to any Redhead. If you bring it too close to your face, it will drown you out. If you pick a lighter shade of orange, you may be fine. However, not with Koi. 

Hot redheads don't shine in hot orange color. 

This is Phoebe Price. Despite the fact that she is wearing a see-through dress with yellow underwear, the orange shade is too much for her red hair. You can't even tell when it ends and when her dress starts!

Lighter shade is so much better for a cute redhead like this.

This vibrant color will look best with darker, crisper colors such as navy blue or chocolate brown. If you are absolutely in love with this shade of orange, try to break it up with your fierce hair color using black, pink or even white. And as always, all Pantone seasonal colors look great when combined together, so don't be afraid of experimenting. 

Fellow Redheads, do you wear orange?

XOXO,
