Color Cues

TICKLED PINK

Breast cancer awareness has created a wave of home and fashion products in the pink family. We're actually nearing the end of that trend, however, as pinks move from the popular mid-value tones to deeper rose colors.

CLASSIC RED

Red is always a classic. The significant question with red is what color influences it. Chinese red--which is highly popular today--is a rich red-orange combination. Watch for Venetian red--a red with blue influence--to emerge.

RICH GREENS

We continue to see rich variations of green. This time, however, think of peacock feathers and all their saturated color. Yellow-based greens will reamin popular and blue-based greens are coming on strong. Representing two extremes, we're seeing neutral greens serve a subtle and sophisticated backdrop and shocking, toxic greens made up of equal parts green and yellow make a bold impact. Greens are staying strong as environmental awareness and intrest in eco-friendly products like Shaw's Anso Nylon carpets reach new heights.

NEW AND NATURAL ORANGE

New oranges reamin strong in the home, making their way to upholstery,drapery,and even appliances. Most of these colors provide a muddied or burnished look that suggests a natural aging process. These tones provide a patina of authenticity that complements strong trends in home decor.

AMERICA'S FAVORITE COLOR

Navy and true blue remain important and will become more diverse, influencing purples and greens. Soft shades of aqua--the water colors that have performed so strongly in recent years--continue to be a mainstay. You'll also see unusual combinations as blue-greens are paired with rich browns, yellow-greens, and vivid red-oranges.
