stylist, columnist
Let’s figure out which models are relevant. We take the Pantone list, where the trend colors of the coming season are collected. And… hang on, because it’s not easy to find the perfect mix of fashionable traits. But what’s even harder is choosing what’s right for you. There’s two pieces of news here. Both good.
First, there are so many shades on the lists. Even for the same color, you’ll find different actual versions. Second, you don’t have to follow Pantone’s instructions exactly. You can use only the most general recommendations. For example, we know for sure that this spring there will be a lot of green, red, yellow and orange. There will be blue too. Pink is represented in many different variations.
Here are just a few of the Pantone palettes for the Spring-Summer 2023 season
And this is where the stylist has to hang in there. It’s all clear with women: they are happy with bright colors themselves, and they have a huge choice. Men are more difficult. Here and the desire to follow the course on the colors of “tear out the eye” may not be, and the ability to lay it (especially the paths of mass-market) are limited. But we’re not looking for easy paths. Below are a selection of specific items in different shades, grouped by color type.

Now you’re sure to find your version of green, yellow, etc. If you don’t, there’s always plan B – neutral shades. Pantone also collects their current list. And here again we remind ourselves that we don’t have to do it this way. The main reference point is your personal settings. But it’s worth a look. Maybe everything will coincide luckily?
Red
Shades of scarlet never seem to leave the trend lists. In spring there are two variants in the top: bright Cherry Tomato and slightly calmer Fiery Red. The second is a slightly darkened and softened version of red. It’s quite versatile. If you want to move towards the scarlet Cherry Tomato, you need to be ready to take on the responsibility. Firstly, it’s guaranteed to get everyone’s attention. Secondly, pure red doesn’t suit everyone. It’s important that your natural colors are just as vibrant.

Orange
Another cheerful color promises to please us in spring. Now it is Tangelo shade. It is a saturated orange color. If it’s too bright for you, you can reduce the level of expression by moving towards spicy spice shades. We’re talking about something like turmeric. This solution will especially suit men who might be intimidated by bright orange.

Yellow
In spring, we will see the classics of this color – two bright shades of Blazing Yellow 和 Empire Yellow. The first one is lighter (sunny), the second one is closer to egg yolk.
If this is too much for you, then again take something with the addition of gray, brown. Once again we move towards “spicy coloring”. Here may appear the color of saffron. It is also realistic to go the other way – to take something light yellow. Especially successful such a solution will be for owners of light coloring.

Green
Here we are truly unleashed. All shades of green are in trend – from emerald to fresh green. There is Classic Green (medium-bright), and a slightly lighter Andean Toucan, and Love Bird – with a yellow undertone. You can also find softened variants: Titanite (closer to swamp) and Leek Green (gray khaki). The light Grayed Jade (very light), but here we have already entered the territory of basic shades.

Blue
This block is divided into dark and light shades. In the first case, we are talking about saturated blue. In the second – about blue. For each coloristic direction there is a wide choice. Blue is represented by a bright classic – Electric Blue Lemonade. A calmer variant is Blue Perennial.
Incity, 2999 rubles.
Blue color suits representatives of light colors. It can be a little grayer. Then it is better for those who have a grayish admixture in their appearance colors. In the trend list it is the shade Summer Song. There is also a classic blue in Pantone’ s estimates – Airy Blue .
Sela, 1599 rubles / Demix, 6499 rubles.
Important! For those who are obviously warm in natural colors, it is better to look towards turquoise. It is a blue with a touch of yellow. If you add a note of gray to it, then the color will also go to soft colors. There are predominantly russet-haired people with complex eye shades.
Everything that is connected with pink
In this block we will tell at once about everything that scares men in the field of colorism. It is really difficult to find a representative of the stronger sex who is a fan of the pink color. With fuchsia is easier. If it will be muted, it can find fans among men. The closer to purple, the easier. It is more universal.
Incity, 2,599 rubles.
So, what of the pink range is on trend? First of all, the classic light shade – Crystal Rose. Then there is something brighter – Pink Cosmos. There are also shades at the intersection of light red and orange – peach. Some are brighter, some are more subtle.
Demix, 2999 rubles / Befree, 5599 rubles.
For those who like something in between fuchsia and lilac, there are two shades: beet purple Beetroot Purple and soft lilac Spring Crocus. Also, let’s not forget that the 2023 color of the year is Viva Magenta. It’s a sort of crimson.
Demix, 3,849 rubles.
Base colors
Gray, khaki, brown, vanilla, soft caramel, navy blue – these are the colors Pantone suggests as neutral colors. You should choose them to suit your coloring. In most cases, they are universal. To be sure not to miscalculate, you need to know one rule – the more in the color of gray, the easier it is to combine. Also, it is very likely that it will not harm the appearance.
