This year’s
color families reveal the trending colors of tomorrow based on the sounds of
the past and present:
·
Motown — deep
tones of blue, with a green that is almost brown, are brightened with orange
and rusty tones to provide a palette that is both edgy and mysterious.
·
Techno — bold
shades of hi-tech blues and futuristic greens are highlighted by neon yellow
and brought back to earth by a subtle, golden beige. Funky and daring, this
palette speaks to our inner geek.
·
Festival — an
airy taupe is contrasted by blazing shades of orange and red, and brightened by
shadowy purples and violets in the vibrant palette, inspired by summer music
festivals.
·
Bossa nova — harmonies
of calm, refined greens and fluid, soft beiges reflect on the beauty of nature
and lend to a calm, tranquil mood. Like an enchanting bossa nova melody played
on a nylon-string classical guitar, this collection of gorgeous hues reminds us
to appreciate the magnificent world around us.
·
Lullaby — Reach-out-and-touch-me
pastels are paired with cozy grays in this understated and comforting palette.
Like a mother singing a lullaby to her precious child, this color assemblage
wraps us in peacefulness and content.
·
Concerto — A
sophisticated palette comprised of soft, pale pinks, romantic peach tones,
subdued blues and extravagant greens.
“These color palettes offer a world of inspiration and harmony,”
expressed Sydney Gardner, lead color trends specialist for Americhem. “By
keeping up with the trends through Americhem’s forecast, designers and product
development personnel alike can benefit from learning the colors and the palettes
that are sure to drive consumer preference in the years to come.”
