New York--Pantone has released its Fashion Color Report for fall 2014, identifying the 10 hues that will be prominent in fashion and design at the end of the year.

She said the fall palate has a “feminine mystique,” inspired by the increasing need for women to create an individual imprint.

Sangria, an exotic red
Aurora Red, a more sophisticated red shade that adds verve and spark
Mauve Mist, a romantic and elegant purple shade reminiscent of the Art Deco era
