Pantone is the leading authority on all that is colorful and they have recently released their Spring 2017 collection.

These colors have the ability to make or break trends and for small business owners everywhere, it is important to keep these hues in mind when designing spring collections. This statement applies across genres and, if used appropriately, can help you launch your collections into must-have accessories no matter what you are selling. – article by The Write Assistant LLC
