2009 COLOR TRENDS

Color trends are just that...trends! Every season new color palettes will emerge influenced by what is happening in the world whether it's the economy, technology, the environment, or social issues. The 2009 color palette was chosen as a reflection of what is happening in our country right now. The color yellow is thought to bring inspiration and energy to people, soft neutral shades of beige, gray, and white are calm and relaxing, the color purple is a mix of predominant political colors-red & blue, while blue is the new green. Color is a very personal choice and it's a reflection of who you are as a person, your personality, and can have a significant impact on how you feel. A good way of incorporating the color trends without a full commitment is to buy throw pillows and blankets. Don't get too caught up in the trends. Choose a color on what you like.
