According to my observation and analysis, I found that Dolce & Gabbana use black and white almost all the time. Besides, gray and red are also be used very often. Beige, brown, blue, pink, orange, purple, green are usually used to hightlight those fundamental colors.
The colors in those 10 years were changed from familiarity (natural colour with low value / chroma ) into novelty (primary colour with high value chroma) , and then go back to familiarity to move in circles.
I think the duo will use black and white consecutively. And gray, is now become the cosset of them too since it has been chosen in the recent 8 years. Low value & chroma of these hues will be the first choice.
To creat contrastion, I think red, blue, pink and green will be used.
Red and blue are often seen because they are part of Sicily and Mediterranean's traditional color. Most of time, these two hues have kept a low value and chroma in order to punctuate and contrast the strong presence of black/gray/white.
Pink and green will be used to give a spark of the outfits. For example, the shocking pink used in oo, 01, 09's collection. And for the green, it is the familiar hue of rustic or country lifestyle. Maybe, we can meet the rustic lifestyle again in the fall collection 2010.
Don't forget the furs, the exotic animal prints and hints of safari, they are also the favorite elements of Dolce & Gabbana.
