Besides the splashes of plums and pinks and bright reds, the two colors that were also appearing across the runways were red-orange, also known as "blood orange" and it's perfect complementary color, indigo. Over-sized wool coats and various textures/prints remained bold and styled with a neutral colored shoe.  Dennis Basso on the other hand enhanced his neutral palette with splashes of red-orange with his accessories and lip color. I can see these colors having a strong commercial viability; the colors are strong and bold, but not as bright as the neon and pink. This may attract consumers that want a strong color that is more wearable.
