Monday, December 27, 2010

In conjunction with New York Fashion Week back in September, Pantone® released their Spring 2011 color trends, a collaboration with leading designers like Badgley Mischka, Tommy Hilfiger, Betsey Johnson, Shaun Kearney, and others listed below. They released 10 color selections that reflect trends from the world’s most colorful cities including Istanbul (Turkey), Scandinavia, India, Spain, Brazil, Barbados, and New York City.

So, as we look forward to a new season, remember you can give your LightStyle projector, Vistage panel, or Copenhagen design SC-50d, SC-60d, Q-1500d, and D-73d projectors a new look with FinishPalette™ options. If you own one of these products and want to give it a new look for the Spring, contact your Runco dealer to see about returning your functioning product to the factory to add these options.
