Sure, pastels are the obvious choice for Easter, but the usual shades like peach, seafoam, and carnation pink are playyyyed! The Easter bunny and Hallmark keep rehashing the same colors, but we here at the elusive House of Complex put together a fresh color guide for painting and decorating your Easter eggs and cards this holiday. Click on the thumbnails above for our guide to decorating on-trend and oh-so-cool-guy Easter eggs for Spring 2011.
Hermes
5. Pantone 1575 C (Hermes Orange)
Paint your eggs with this bold, lush, and oh so powerhouse shade, and you’ll be clocking starlets and the paps who stalk ‘em. This season is about popping off, not falling asleep during the hunt, so match this trés luxe colorway and wait for the high class bunnies to roll by.
Towlie
4. Pantone 271 C (Towlie Blue Violet)
This is a more conventional Easter hue, but if you match it perfectly to Towlie’s colorway, you can get subliminally medicinal this holiday. Keep your painted 271 C eggs away from the munchies crew though, baked friends might crack the eggs thinking they’re filled with Swiss chocolate. It’s Easter, don't forget to bring a towel.
WIKILEAKS
3. Pantone 5425 C, 8201 C, 630 C, 7457 C (WikiLeaks Teals)
Up your Easter activism with any one of these Pantones. Seeing these colors might even psychologically trigger family members to leak private, secret, and highly classified information over Easter dinner. Beware side effects of self-induced paranoia.
TRUMP
2. Pantone 7506 C (Donald Trump Toupée Flax Yellow)
For anyone with an agenda this holiday and looking to boost their ratings this Easter, look into Pantone 7506 C. Sure your egg will lean towards douche-bag-status, but nobody will question your US birth certificate.
Goth
1. Pantone (German Goth Black)
What's punk anymore? Black Easter eggs are punk. Kinda goth too. Why does Easter have to be associated with pastels? Down with the Hallmark's color regime!
