Pantone’s Colour of the Year, 11-4201 Cloud Dancer is in tune with eyewear colour palettes – despite the current trend for pastels, neons and brights
Described as a lofty white neutral and a whisper of calm and peace in a noisy world, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer reflects a yearning for “a future free from toxicity and excess.” The colour, which has a slightly greyish tint, is expected to be a hit in the worlds of interiors and fashion, given its “natural and human quality”, and for eyewear, it looks likely to receive a favourable reception, building on the enduring popularity of white and translucent crystal tones for glasses and sunglasses and its considerable versatility as a statement colour or more subtle quiet choice in other variations and where transparency comes into play.

Crystal tinted eyewear is timeless and continues to be popular thanks to the lightness of the colour which is flattering for the human complexion and works for many differeny skin tones. www.mykita.com
