Color Trend Updates

2011ColorTrend Updates for Inspiration
 
 
Earthy browns are the backdrop for milky whites and pale, buttery yellows. Hay and terra cotta mix with aubergine, pumpkin, tomato and, of course, green. Tints are warm colors are pure, used with fabrics that are textured.
 
 
A return to basic primary colors applied to a monochromatic scale of blacks, grays and whites. Pairing red with black. Blue, yellow, green - even pink are used with grays. Patterns are geometric with clean lines. Circles, triangles linear shapes are stacked and molded to create larger shapes.
 
 
 
Pearlescent and shimmery finishes applied to pastels paired with grounded colors, lavender with brown, and pale green with camel. Wispy fabrics are best compliments with these combinations.
 
 
As we see a return to the simpler things in life comes the use of bold colors rich berry tones, fire orange, saffron, cinnamon are all paired with browns, a bronze metallic and charcoal. Beaded elements are seen every where on almost anything and check out the new Tortoise shell texture.
