Cotton Candy—Sweet as candy, light, and fluffy, this rosy shade showed up in both flowing silhouettes and sharp-tailored separates on the runways of Fashion Week.

Cyan—Where fiery reds were all the rage last season, we're thinking of making a major statement this spring in a shade of blue that's just as hot.

Putty Beige—A fresh neutral tone that we're adding to our palette is as adaptable as the toy, but certainly not as silly.

Raspberry Pink- From work friendly to the most-special occasion, designers showed love for a bright berry pink just ripe for the pickin'.

Split Pea—We'll admit we needed to get over the name's ick factor, but it was hard not to get turned on by the greenish-yellow, yellowy-green muted shade that appeared in a flock of pretty dresses.
