A fan of colourful jewel tones AND Pantone!
I've been a fan of jewel tones for many years even when they may not have been so in vogue! And, working in marketing and graphic design, I've always had my Pantone color formula guide by my side.
As I am a fan of COLOR, so am I a fan of the designers that I've included below. These designers can be found profiled in the Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2007.
My favorite jewel tone colors are the fuchsias and purples--it so seems that my favorite designers listed below also love those colors!
The picture of the Qualatex Jewel-Tone balloons is a great representation of the range of jewel tone colors.
Pantone Fashion Colourful Report

The traditional neutral shades expected for autumn have been replaced this season with rich, nuanced hues, offering more opportunity for creativity with interesting and unexpected color combinations. --Pantone.
