Each season, the gurus at Pantone, the color-consulting agency that works closely with the fashion industry, reveal their palette of picks for the coming months.
For fall, they’ve chosen a brilliant orange, a lemon-tinged chartreuse, a bold lilac and a teal that recalls the ocean floor, among others.
Here are some favorite shades from Pantone’s fall palette and offer easy, on-trend ways to wear them.

— Chic yet cheerful, Phlox is a vibrant purple that looks fresh in a palette of fall staples such as camel, espresso and charcoal. Capture a stroke of the brilliant shade with Mossimo’s looped ruffle top, a striking layer under a suit or cozy cardigan. $20 at .

— Evoking the translucent qualities of sea glass, watery blue-green Quarry looks icy and modern when paired with the season’s chunky knits and lush textures.
