As far as graduated colour goes, I've come to actually like Prada's style of doing it in their recent shoe collections. It's subtle with the right dark colours anchoring the light ones, like these Prada pink ombre pumps. Sure they'd be rather shiny in real life (you get that with patent leather) but there isn't large solid chunks of shininess that would turn me off most patent leather shoes. Paired with the Prada style banana heel, these shoes are almost buyable, if only they weren't $448 (even though they're 20% off their $560 retail price).
