Color Palettes with CMYK Formulas
Color trends of the nineties are harder to classify with so many trends, retro color schemes, and new fads. The color combos shown here fit no particular mold but contain combinations of shades popular throughout the 1990s and on into the new millennium.
C50M60 C100M20K20 C15M50Y55 White
This peachy palette includes a mild purple and medium blue.
C90M50K30 C70K25 C10K40 C100K40 C100M90Y90
These blues and gray create a dark, conservative look.
M10Y20K15 K45 M40Y40K70 White
Neutrals combine for an unusual look. Make the gray a splash of metallic silver ink and it's not so dull a combo as you might think.
A modern mix of peach, orange, yellow, and dusky purple.
M27Y100K6 C100M43K18 White
Opposites attract - blue and yellow - while white adds light to this slightly dark palette.
C40M5Y30 C100M15Y80 C50M30 C67M75Y10K13 C80M55 C40K100 White
Opposites of purple and green make an attractive match with black and white added to the party.
C10M100Y100 C100M5Y100 M10Y100 C40K100
A red and green combo. Use lots of black and a bit of yellow to create an eye-popping look.
C100M75 C80M5Y10 C65M3Y10 C15Y5 M40Y75 C100M50 C40K100 White
Brighten this combo of shades of blues with a dash of orange.
Y65 C10M45Y45 C40M30Y30 White
This washed out combo of pale yellow, pale pink, gray, and white would usually be considered a bad combination but when anything goes...

When you thing of 1990’s fashion, one may think of GRUNGE: baggy, denim, cropped tops, plaid flannel, short hair -- “androgynous.” Women began to wear more ‘trousers’ as men wore their baggy pants. The color palettes of the ‘90s are better represented as less vibrant but prominent colors were:
- BLACK
- purples
- wine reds
- forest or hunter greens
- different shades of browns (nude/neutral colors that were reflected within the shifting trends in make-up)
- dull greys
Therefore, primary fabrics (reflected in the grunge style as well): - Leather
- Flannel
- Denim (white and blue, overalls/shortalls/shorts)
- Wovens/crochet
- lycra (for a more enhanced look)
- fleece
- knits
- linen
- silk
- cashmere
- velvets
- microfibre polyester
- Softer fabrics--less color

"Mad About Plaid"
While I often lament that I was only a child in the 1980s, I should more often lament being a teenager in the 1990s. To this date, I'm not quite sure that there was much "Good" that came from 90s fashion, or nothing noteworthy (other than grunge), and I'm not positive I want to remember grunge.
Grunge was also highly influenced and inspired by the alternative form of music of the ‘90s, in correlation to this style trend, leather fabrics were also a prevalent trend: www.gettyimages.com
Also, looking back on the the early `90s, "retro"--demonstrating very bold, "highlighter" colors (the Fresh Prince of Bel air) was associated with the 1990's, depicting that year in fashion as edgy/trendy. Below is a 2007 cover for Missbehave magazine featuring a growing pop artist, M.I.A., dolled up in retro fashion of the 1990's. Here are some major forms of the retro look of the early `90s below: in footwear, make-up, style trends, etc.

Reebok will release the second series of the Kolors Collection and just like the previous collection some fitted caps will match featuring NFL teams. Different combinations of materials are used like patent leather and the colors bring up a 1990s feel. The Fitted hats are nice as well featuring a array of colors. Expect to be able to purchase them in June. Via HB.
