Pantone Spring Colors: Fiesta

Welcome to the eighth installment of our Pantone Spring Colors series! During these ten weeks, we’re going over the spring palette with you, color by color. We’re talking complementary colors, and we’re showing you tons of great furniture and accessories that correspond with each hue.

Whether you want your space to make you feel more relaxed or more energized, you’ll be a fan of spring’s best colors. They’re inspired by nature and range from soft and soothing to bold and bright, making them the perfect way to transform any home.

“Colors this season transport us to a happier, sunnier place where we feel free to express a wittier version of our real selves,” says Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute™. “With our culture still surrounded by so much uncertainty, we are continuing to yearn for those softer shades that offer a sense of calm and relaxation.”

Fiesta

“The high energy PANTONE 17-1564 Fiesta is a harbinger of excitement, encouraging free-spirited exploration to unknown but welcoming locales,” continues Eiseman. “A strong and fiery, yellow-based Red, the vivid Fiesta provides a stark contrast to the calming, softer nature of this season’s palette.”

This hot hue is the splash of color we’ve been craving for our homes. It’s sassy, stimulating and the slightest bit scandalous. At first glance, you might think Fiesta is a hard color to integrate into an existing color scheme, but that’s not true at all. It works well as an accent color among pastels and neutrals, or as eye-catching contrast in a bold, multi-hued space. We especially love Fiesta paired with Snorkel Blue, Green Flash or Limpet Shell.
