The look was coined “En Plein Air” by the Pantone Color board. “En Plein Air” is a french term referring to painting the outdoors. It’s easy to see the influence of landscapes, water and nature from the cool tones in the spring 2015 color palette.
What a refreshing change from the strong colors that have dominated recently.
