Each fashion season, someone desires to know what color is the “new black.” This moment, the new black is no color at all.

Among the scores of designers who revealed their newest collections this week in New York Fashion Week, a striking number intense on looks with scarcely any color.

The dominant tones for next spring and summer, in collections with those of Donna Karan, Alexander Wang and G-Star, were solid white, beige, ivory, khaki, olive, oatmeal and terracotta.

Such hues are an inherent part of the uniforms, or daily wear, in consumers’ wardrobes, said Paco Underhill, author of “What Women Want.” In the fashion business, those daily uniforms give the most revenue, he said.

However neutrals don’t of necessity indicate boring, and they can range from pale rose to cavernous russet, said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Colour Institute which information on the pinnacle colors each season.

Some designers stayed predominantly with neutrals but perked up their collections with splashes of dazzling colors.

Ralph Lauren, who revealed his Western-inspired collection on Thursday, adhered mostly to cream, ivory, parchment and saddle brown tones, brought to life with glittering platinum lame and sparkling beaded fringe.
