COLOR CATEGORIES FOR 2010
Color is the most powerful element of Design and it is the most personal. Each one of us has a color preference: certain colors that we are drawn to based on our past experiences, present influences and where we live. Popular color palettes are always changing thereby creating excitement in our everyday environments.
The newest color groupings are based on:
Rich, earthy tribal hues embued with a bit of mystery and influenced by African and Native American cultures.
Fresh, exuberant florals and bright juicy colors found in nature can evoke warm sunny days and carefree vacations to tropical locals.
Colors reminiscent of past eras can be found in antiques, artisan pieces and flea market finds. Layered paint, rough textured old wood, and mellowed finishes appeal to a sense of history.
Calm , subtle, translucent hues with shimmer and clarity create a simplified and sophisticated palette with style.
