The colors you'll find in a department store or in online shopping will likely change with the season and while dark colors often personify winter, lighter bright colors will usually come around in the spring and for summer styles. If you're attending a celebration and are searching through the latest trendy party dresses, you'll likely see many colors that evoke feelings of a flower garden with colors named to match like geranium, poppy, viola, iris, and daffodil. While the latest color trends are not so bright as to create a startling or bold look, colors like yellow and red still grace the pages of most fashion catalogs.
