While bright hues are certainly welcome come spring, muted, neutral tones have emerged richer than ever and can bring an understated yet chic touch to outfits and accessories. The colors on Pantone's Spring 2008 Fashion Color Report are no exception, with 'Croissant' taking its place as one of my favorites. The shade is just as buttery as its name would suggest, so bring some balance to its smoothness with bolder, statement-making pieces in black, gold, or even red, or try adding a patent accent for a little edge. And don't even think about calling it 'tan' or 'beige'! More golden yellow than brown, this creamy, versatile shade is in a class of its own.
