“By playing to consumers’ practical side with versatile neutrals and boosting their confidence with bold, spirit hues, this skillfully balanced palette has something for everyone”
– Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute
Our personal favorites are French Roast, Honey gold, Olympian Blue, Pink Flambé, Tangerine Tango, Ultmarine Green and Rhapsody- all of which are great fits for some really eye-catching and trendy hair packaging. In fact, we came up with some color schemes for you based on these colors that you might want to consider for your packaging:
1. French Roast and Honey Gold
The French Roast can be used for the requisite ‘hair like’ dark background and the Honey Gold can be used for lettering that really pops out! This scheme is a nice variation- but yet sufficiently similar- to the classic black and gold combination. The colors are different enough to make you stand out but the color combination has roots in a tried and tested successful match!
2. Pink Flambé and Rose Smoke
These beautiful pastels are perfect to give your hair packaging a classy, vintage look. The pink is feminine and vibrant enough to be interesting and appealing, and the Rose Smoke is demure and understated enough to offset the packaging looking like a hot pink extravaganza. This color scheme is also perfect for the dress your real or illustration model wears on the packaging. For best results, compliment these colors with browns and golds.
3. Tangerine Tango and White
For a clean, modern look, use a white background, a healthy dose of Tangerine Tango and pitch black silhouettes of models and hair for your packaging. The white will make everything look clean and fresh, the Tangerine Tango adds plenty of color and personality, and the dark silhouettes will add a sophisticated artistic look.
