What's trending in color this year?  Well if you ask me you will get one answer, but if you ask someone else you will get another. But, as the year progresses we are seeing some definite trends from the fashion world and the paint companies are following suit.
People who chose green last year are now opting for a bold gold.
Since paint is just as much a part of the fashion and color industry as clothing and automobiles, everyone's got a say in what colors are on the wall.
With some palettes, there is a calming effect and a break from the bold colors and this seems to be gentler on the eye.  But BOLD is in for other palettes.
So what are we seeing with these two different palettes?
Ginger Root, Beige, green, brown, tan, cinnamon, copper, gold, mahogany, deep blue, grey, newport blue, red gumball, just to mention a few.  You will find Teal and Fuschia.
All of the major paint makers are getting on board with these colors and are describing their colors as sophisticated, Techy and dramatic.  And I must admit that sophistication is being found in home decor, as we're building increasingly complex decor designs with depth of color.
Of course this trend is not abut just one color.  It's about the combination of all the colors in a particular space.  Sophistication can take man forms, and each palette plays into not only color, but the emotional trends of the upcoming years.
Take for instance the " Luxury Contemporary and Classic Palette"
It is a contemporary take on classic masculine and feminine ideas, blending a variety of  materials.  This theme relies heavily on texture, surface design and material to convey craftsmanship and emphasizes the importance of integrity in design.
You have Metallics, Woods, Textured Fabrics all of which offer a rugged  and refined timelessness.
The mood of this palette is conveyed in pairing rich reddish browns with rich blues and pale blues and grays.
Within this palette you will use Copper, Mahogany, Deep Blue, gray and Tan.



In following articles we will look at " Eclectic and Vibrant, Fantastical and Enchanting, Thoughtful and Versatile and Modern Tech".  Within each of these palettes you will find the use of some very bold colors.
These bold colors paired with the softer earthy colors are going to be around for years to come," say the paint makers".  They are promoting these colors and are confident they will continue to show up for the next 4 to 5 years.
A good indicator of this can be seen in the colors that are being offered for automobile paint and interiors color schemes.  These cars will be around for some years and cost a  lot of money, so you have to be happy with the color for several years.  We also change the paint color in our homes on average every 4 to 5 years.
