Toward the end of every year, paint companies select their choices for Color of the Year. As someone who lives for design and color, I eagerly await these announcements. More than just looking at pretty colors, I try to determine what these colors have in common. And more so, what do these colors say about today — and tomorrow?
Color experts arrive at their selections each year by looking for global color trends in fashion, design, and art as well as socioeconomic or political conditions. Influences may also include new materials, textiles, or fabrics that impact color. In turn, these color selections become a forecast for what we will likely see in new products, clothing, and home decor for the upcoming year.
