Colour Predictions for 2007
An optimistic fresh palette of warm clear colours expanding into traditionally cool colour families and neutrals joined by exciting new ways of combining colours to push the boundaries on our coloured environment.
- Colours become increasingly versatile and genderless with more general appeal and less overtly feminine or masculine hues.
- Light and dark neutrals anchor colour schemes with the prudent assistance of white.
- Greens are becoming less muted and freshening to the serene mid tones. Nature-inspired tones are still popular. Aqueous colours are underscored by pale blue greens, while greens also head to lighter and more citrus yellow hues.
- Browns become a versatile, classic and rich hue in their own right and continue as a sophisticated option to black.
- Greys retain their status as the new neutral but tend towards taupe and away from ice-bound predecessors.
- Blues, while on the wane, are underpinned by classic blue selections, such as navy blue. New blues are warmed and cleaner without the assistance of yellow.
- Oranges, reds and yellows look fresh and cheerful, with coppers becoming reddened oranges, reds saturated and yellows lighter, naturally appealing and warmed with orange.
- Pinks wane in popularity as purples, deep plums and violets re-emerge and work well with earthy pinks.
- Technology meets nature with the meeting of metallics and predominantly darker woods, while gold and silver, once never seen together, now work in harmony.
