Some of the following are the 2010 fall fashion colors compared to web design & print design and it seems that designers are already ahead of the curve.

Predictions?
What do you think will be prevalent in 2010? I think these colors will play a roll in some way. Maybe just as secondary colors, but I still see big, bold, bright colors from the design industry.

Holy …. Are you in printing?
I thought Pantone's color codes were arbitrary (non-deterministic) so you'd have to get one of those "keychain" books.
If you find that there's a deterministic way to do it, feel free to contact me and I'll whip up a program to do it (if it's not rocket science)

A primary color is a color that cannot be created by mixing other colors in the gamut of a given color space. (Red, Yellow, and Blue are the additive primary colors.) Primary colors may themselves be mixed to produce most of the colors in a given color space. (In the printing industry, to produce the varying colors, apply the subtractive primaries yellow, cyan, and magenta together in varying amounts.)
Mixing two primary colors produces what is generally called a secondary color
red (●) + green (●) = yellow (●)
red (●) + blue (●) = magenta (●)
green (●) + blue (●) = cyan (●)
cyan (●) + magenta (●) = blue (●)
cyan (●) + yellow (●) = green (●)
magenta (●) + yellow (●) = red (●)
blue (●) + yellow (●) = green (●)
blue (●) + red (●) = purple (●)
yellow (●) + red (●) = orange (●)
A tertiary color (or what you may be referring to as INTERMEDIATE) is a color made by mixing one primary color with one secondary color, in a given color space. Unlike primary and secondary colors, these are not represented by one firmly established name each, but the following examples include some of the most popular.
blue (●) + green (●) = aquamarine (●)
green (●) + yellow (●) = chartreuse (●)
yellow (●) + orange (●) = marigold (●)
orange (●) + red (●) = vermilion (●)
red (●) + purple (●) = magenta (●)
purple (●) + blue (●) = violet (●)
red (●) + yellow (●) = orange (●)
green (●) + yellow (●) = chartreuse (●)
green (●) + cyan (●) = aquamarine (●)
blue (●) + cyan (●) = azure (●)
blue (●) + magenta (●) = violet (●)
red (●) + magenta (●) = fuchsia (●)
cyan (●) + blue (●) = azure (●)
magenta (●) + red (●) = violet (●)
magenta (●) + red (●) = fuchsia (●)
yellow (●) + yellow (●) = orange (●)
yellow (●) + green (●) = chartreuse (●)
cyan (●) + green (●) = aquamarine (●)

Purple has always been the color of royalty. Imagine purple velvet – rich and deep.
Purple also combines the best of two colors from which it came: red and blue. Red is for passion while blue exudes traquility. The resulting combination of these two colors is purple where the red-hot passion has been tempered by the calmness of blue.
Take note that other tints of purple like lavender has been associated with old maids. But the original purple has been used successfully to give the impression of sophistication when used with black.

I'm starting to think your apparent unknown source is a fake.
If it is Joni for Torres straight up I definitely wouldn't take that.
Keep the rumors coming Bob.
