Womans Wear Daily has published a list of Pantone Colors that fashion designers used most for their 2011 spring collections.

1. Honeysuckle ( 15,5%)
2. Regatta (14,8%)
3. Coral Rose (14,0%)
4. Beeswax (13,3%)
5. Peapod (10,3%)

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, refers to exotism when she analyses the color scheme, the chosen colors are supposed to give people a lift in times of concern about the economy and life in general. Also WWD relates to escapism: The designers use colors from far-away countries to make the consumers forget their everyday problems.
