An invigorating turquoise, scuba blue conveys a sense of carefree playfulness. Even though a cool shade, the vibrancy adds a splash of excitement to the palette. It offers a feeling of escape as it is reminiscent of a tropical ocean. This stirring and energizing shade takes us off to an exotic paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.

Generally not thought of as a fashion color, though it does come back from time to time, lucite green is a soothing shade whose time has really come again. Fresh and clarifying, cool and refreshing, it has a minty glow. Light in weight and also in tone, it seems almost transparent.

Reliable and thoughtful, this shade inspires calm, confidence, and harmony. Serving as an anchor to the Spring 2015 palette, classic blue is a shade that is strong and reliable. Just as with the sea, because of its waterborne qualities, this color is perceived as thoughtful and introspective.

Just as the name implies, custard is a delicious and delectable yellow. Sweet and sunny, it's a cheering tone that brings thoughts of pleasant relaxation and comfort food. Engaging with its soft and mellow warmth and full of good feelings, it has an affable and easy disposition.

Interesting on its own and a wonderful contrast for other hues, marsala serves as the foundation to the Spring 2015 palette. Sensual and bold, it's a daringly inviting tone that nurtures. Much like the fortified wine that gives marsala its name, this robust shade incorporates the warmth and richness of a tastefully fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots point to a sophisticated, natural earthiness.

This is an unobtrusive gray that contrasts and enhances by bouncing off other shades without taking away from them as it slips into the background to allow other colors to take center stage.
