you add and why? What would you name it?" |

"Sailor Patch Blue – it comes from my husband's grandmother. When you ask if it's a nice day in England, she replies, 'There's just enough blue to patch a sailor's shirt.'"

Collier Strong Celebrity Make-up Artist
"It would not be just one color I'd add to the PANTONE Fashion + Home Color System, it would be a whole new range of multi-dimensional colors, ones that have layers upon layers of complementary hues so that when the eye looks at it, it's flattering to its surroundings, and as the light hits it or when the light in the room changes, the color takes on a dimensional quality. This concept can include all colors. We are living in a multi-dimensional world and to limit ourselves to a flat surface of color is to limit our experience of that moment. I'd call it the UNIVERSE Collection by Collier Strong."

"I would add Baby's Buff – the perfect shade of nude with the right balance
of peach and apricot."

"We would add a gunmetal metallic. Material Girl is launching cosmetics for fall 2011, so we are loving a shiny gray for nail polish. We'd call it Electric."

Nicole Fischelis Group Vice President/Fashion Director, Macy's
"Revamp your palette to include a broader range of metallics. Shine and shimmer continue to enhance and impact fashion, accessories and home and remain important for fall 2011. A black lacquer finish, as seen on the runways, will be the most important color for the fall season. Patent has reappeared on runways and adds a new dimension to any palette, making the matte/shiny combo really modern and sophisticated! I would call the new black lacquer color Moonlit Yin."

Tom Bachik Celebrity Manicurist
"If I could add any color to the PANTONE FASHION + HOME Color System, it would be a warm golden yellow with slight red undertones creating dimension — reminiscent of our youth, fast cars and fresh flowers, like rich vibrant sunflower fields and the Porsche I wanted when I was younger. Bold but joyful and inviting, this yellow would bring youthfulness to a more mature color palette, transitioning warmth from summer into fall. I would name it Sunflower Sunset."
