For the spring summer 2010 season, the aim of bright and bold colours is to wear them alone or along with trendy nudes. Versace, Bottega Veneta and Marni suggest going head to toe with rainbow colours like mellow yellow or pistachio while designer Adam Lippes (from fashion house Adam) recommends a combo of contrasting pop colors and soft, natural pastels.

This idea of a perfect colour balance is being applauded by Yigal Azrouël who was inspired with springtime brights of Istanbul. The warm end and a cool side of Nanette Lepore‘s collection brings back her childhood memories of country garden sunsets.

Adam Lippes’s spring 2010 colour ideas: Indigo Blue used as a base for hot colors such as Bright Pink Poppy and Golden Rich Tangerine

Yigal Azrouël’s spring 2010 colour ideas: muted neutrals like Tobacco and Stone infused with acid brights like Maize and Pistachio, and the warm earthy colors of dried fruit such as Hibiscus and Flame

Nanette Lepore’s spring 2010 colour ideas: warm end of our palette includes Citron, Firefly, Tea Rose and Copper. On the cool side we have Fog, Petrol and Sea Salt
