Nectarine and Dusk Blue for 2013

In a recent post, I let you know what the top 10 predicted PANTONE color trends for 2013 are.  Today I am pairing Nectarine (not to be confused with last year's Tangerine,) and Dusk Blue.  Think sun and sea.

Nectarine is bright, happy, fresh and alive!  Bright colors will be acting as the new neutrals.

Dusk blue signifies water and water's elements: fluidity, translucency, power and lightness.

Wouldn't these colors make a great color palette for a gender neutral baby shower?
