A Pantone color guide to Queen Elizabeth
Posted by staff / June 5, 2012
Queen Elizabeth proves monochromatic fashion does not automatically mean boring, especially when that head-to-toe color selection stands out so brilliantly on a drab London day.
To celebrate the stylish monarch’s 60 year reign, Pantone collaborated with ad agency Leo Burnett London to create a limited-edition color guide based on the Queen’s wardrobe choices. The guide references Pantone colors, offering a photograph, location, and date for each outfit hue.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Colour Institute, noted: “The Queen’s decision to favor one color in every outfit is a strong style statement. Monochromatic color schemes make the wearer appear taller, delivering a more stately air – perfect given that Queen Elizabeth is not tall at 5’4”. Choosing one color theme also ensures the outfit does not detract attention from the wearer – which is particularly important if you’re the Queen.”
