Take Advantage of Pantone's Top 2017 Colors with These Products

We get very excited this time of year—fall is in the air, pumpkin-flavored treats are everywhere, and Pantone announces its color trend predictions for the next year. If you deal with promotional products, it's important to always be in the know with trending colors. Last year, Pantone named pastel shades of pink and blue to the list, but this year, there's a whole slew of new, eye-catching colors.

Here's the top 10:

While the promo world doesn't have direct translations to colors, like kale or pink yarrow, there are plenty of promotional options that are just as good.

Here are six ideas to integrate into your next branded merchandise campaign, and your customers will love you for always keeping them hip (do the kids still say that?).

1. Pink Yarrow

Pink yarrow is essentially a variation on hot pink, and to take advantage of that trend, check out this cool Burnout Ombre Tee from Atlantic Coast Cotton.

2. Lapis Blue

Lapis blue is basically royal blue. This shade of blue is perfect for everything from office supplies to tote bags, but we especially love this Ladies Ultralux Blazer from Executive Apparel.

3. Island Paradise 

Obviously, we love the name "Island Paradise," but it's essentially a reworking of aqua blue. Make your customers feel like they're on an island getaway with this 34 Oz. H2go Wide water bottle from ETS Express Inc.

4. Flame

With October nearly here, there's no better time to add an orange product to your merchandise lineup. Perhaps you gift your employees trick-or-treat gift bags or these Flame Orange caps from Paramount Apparel International Inc. for any outdoor fall events.

5. Pale Dogwood

This year's take on the pale pink trend, pale dogwood is essentially a ballerina slipper shade. Naturally, your customers will love these Bella+Canvas Flowy Racerback Tanks from Bodek and Rhodes so much that they won't be able to stop dancing.

6. Kale

Between Beyonce and the smoothie movement, Kale is certainly a hot commodity. The same goes for the color, and these Aspect crewneck sweatshirts from Tri-Mountain will have your end-users ready for the cool fall temps.
