2. Tomato Puree

Red was a dominate color of the winter season, so one who imagine that it would make a softer appearance in the warmer months.

3. Fusion Coral

Warm and yet still very feminine, Fusion Coral brings the romance to the color report. Flirty pieces look great in this tone, and this color will be another favorite for those who choose to sticky to their “girly girl” roots.
