I was browsing the Internet when I found the Pantone colour report for autumn 2017

http://www.pantone.com/fashion-color-report-fall-2017

Some interesting colours in there I like the lemon curry, navy peony and otter from the London colours and the shaded spruce and grey from the New York ones

I think lemon curry and navy peony are my favourites from London! The bottom row in general is more to my taste than the top.

I like the New York palette as a whole much better, I'll have to move there clearly ;)

Not keen on any of those - the greyed tints look really bad on me.
If life gives you lemons, add to gin and tonic !

My two faves are golden lime and lemon curry as I like colours on the olive spectrum.  Shaded spruce could be a possibility, however, none of these would make it into my wardrobe.  I used to wear a lot of navy, before I switched to black.  0_0

I'm with Catllar- too grey, too yellow.  Most of those would make me look dead.  I'll stick to my fave colours all year round thanks!

Oh dear... just as well I'm used to not being fashionable.   :P
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Join the club, Acorn.  Most of us are not fashionable - no 'cold shoulder' tops or dangling sleeves that get into everything for me.  0_0

On the whole I prefer the London colours but they can keep the diarrhoea hues (lemon curry and golden olive). 

Over the last year or so I've been wearing more red, but I still like the pinks and mauves and bright greens which is what I'll stick with.
