Colour Predictions for 2005
Key theme: Personalised to individual sensitivity and sensuality. Rules are relaxed, boundaries blurred. Choose elements that suit you, your style, elements that you love.
- Reds: from burnished roses to coral hues.
- Pinks: imbued with warm undertones, used in small doses or in cooler rooms to avoid the perception of raised temperature.
- Oranges: influenced by citrus based hues.
- Yellows: merged with gold, touched with copper.
- Greens: the new neutrals, from soft neutral to dark olive and citrus tones.
- Blues: warm or airy or watery. Most greener blues have become green.
- Copper and spiced hues continue adding a tangy edge to schemes.
- Purples: waning, but present in deeper complex tones, rather than clean and bright.
- Taupes: become mushroom and greyed lilacs.
- Chocolate and coffee hues for stability, comfort and dependability.
