VPL
by Victoria Bartlett
Silver Cloud
PANTONE 15-4502
inspiration
The Yellow was an emotional response. The Fake Tan was based
on the color of vintage stockings and bad fake tans on women.
The Salmon, Tan and Neon Yellow are inspired by ‘30s art, interiors
and pottery – the era that these modern colors were discovered.
prominent colors
Neutrals from Vapor Grays through Steel Grays, Camels and
Beiges to a very Vibrant Fake Tan, with accents of Neon Yellow
and a very ‘50s Salmon Pink; also a warm collection of metals
such as Steels, Irons, Coppers and Brasses; no bling colors
signature color
Fake Tan because it embodies the history of VPL – it’s a very
warm intonation that marries all the acids and brights together
