It's time for the second half of #Pantone2024!
This time l've separated it into NY and London fashion week colours - see my other post - and l've again included the New Classics.
You can play bingo, go for a full card, just play for fun - whatever you like. Find a colour somewhere in the cover of whatever you're reading, and tag @lauredhel @BarbaraBB
