Colour Predictions for 2006
Connecting is the new catch phrase. Emotion is back in fashion, underpinning our decision making, our loves, our likes, our hates and our colour scheme selections. Colour helps us express ourselves...
- A desire for more relaxed living sees colours lighten, become more easy to live with.
- The shocking brights are going pastel turning to coral pinks and tea rose pinks. Reds remain but remain overshadowed by pink and orange developments.
- Departing from orange, brown is becoming cleaner with a stronger Eastern influence, though intense black is holding its ground as an anchor in monochromaticity.
- Oranges are freshened with metallics, red undertones removed.
- Blue infused greens, new teals greener than aqua, gain momentum bringing in the botanical, organic edge.
- The popular new palette pairing of soft yellow greens with fresh softened aquas, pinks and pale yellows reminiscent of outdoor picnics embraces the trend to connectivity, welcoming in the new vogue of home entertainment.
- Whitened metallics offer a multi-dimensional finish to tone, while natural neutrals remain a safe choice with new monochromatic whites and fresh greys.
- Hues of the past such as buttery yellows and petal pinks will sneak back into the trends before the cycle progresses. The palette is warmed with undertones of green and yellow and accented by punchy hues such as bright reds, intense light blues, acidic yellows and touches of shrieking violet.
