For Spring/Summer 2008, Pantone released a pastel heavy palette with an emphasis on metallics. According to Pantone, "refreshing splashes of invigorating brights punctuate classic, versatile neutrals as designers offer a playful spring palette for endless exploration and creative combinations. Variations on popular colors such as energizing red, cool, waterborne blue and eco-friendly greens also play a key role in this season."
- Snorkel Blue: Your dependable navy but with more sophistication and animation
- Freesia: Warm and cheerful, a friendly, inviting color to which people are naturally drawn
- Rococco Red: An exciting, attention-getting classic
- Spring Crocus: Deep pink undertones in this flowery hue make it among the prettiest, most wearable purples
- Daiquiri Green: Revitalizing; a bright and cheerful version of the popular earth-tone yellow-greens naturally associated with eco-awareness
- Pink Mist: Delicate, subtle pink with blue undertones
- Cantaloupe: Luscious, warm, nurturing, and sweetly appealing; great with chocolate browns
- Silver Gray: Glitzy, has a sheen reminiscent of the popular metallics that will continue to add a touch of excitement to any outfit
- Croissant: A warm, enticing hue with beautiful undertones; a delicious base for spring's more exciting accents
