From International Color & Trend Authority, Michelle Lamb
Move over, orange! There’s a new player in town for Halloween. Gold metallic is one of the freshest emerging color trends for October 31.
The idea of swapping orange for gold in your Halloween mix may seem odd at first. After all, Halloween is casual and fun, while gold is considered as a standard-bearer of luxury and tradition. In the past, the market perceived gold to be too serious for a holiday focused on costumes and candy. But today, casual and traditional elements are being freely mixed. As a result, these barriers to gold are no longer viewed as insurmountable, let alone valid.
