Increasing Color Confidence Makes Any Color Fashionable for 2008
According
to Zimmer, green may become the newest neutral color. Used as a subtle backdrop
to reflect an enhanced eco-consciousness and social responsibility, green will
be representative of the growing environmental movement. Mid-tone hues of fern,
palm, pine and sage will be used on their own or coupled with clear blue or
aqua to create a living space that conjures up a sense of outdoor friendly
living. Sandy tan and adobe brown can be intermingled to complete that earthy
and eco-friendly feel.
Gaining popularity in 2008, black and white
paint hues will enhance opulent living spaces filled with accessories,
lighting, mirrors and rich fabrics. Silver metallics and high-sheen finishes,
along with rich textures, benefit from the sophistication of this striking
palette.
