There isn't anything such as a bad color, but every color has its own story to tell.
Color reflects the personality of the wearer and the sensibility of the designer. Sometimes, as with the top 10 Pantone colors chosen by New York designers for fall -- with iron ranked number one and the rest heavy on somber and neutral tones -- they even provide a window into the public's mood at a particular moment.
I didn't focus on the intricacies of color until I met Leatrice Eiseman, executive of the Pantone Color Institute, which created the standardized international reference system for determining ink colors.
