I LOVE LOVE LOVE looking at new color trends......

Paint chips

Carpet Samples

YOU NAME IT!!!!!!

Just a throw back to my old design days when I spent my day eyeball deep in color!!!!

So it is no surprise that I wait and wait and wait for the Pantone Color Forecasts to come out.

OK OK I KNOW!!!!!

The Spring 2011 Color Forecast has been out for a while now!!!!

But, as you know, life has thrown me quite a few curveballs this spring.......

Disclaimer: Even tho the forecast is geared toward fashion......the forecasted colors ALWAYS trickle down into interior fashion.....Also, the pictures I have chosen are MY interpretations of the colors.

So now, without further delay......

Pantone's Spring 2011 Fashion Color Forecast

HONEYSUCKLE

I have already posted about the FAB color of the year, Honeysuckle, here and here so check it out.

But just a quick peek at my take on it.....

  VIBRANT, BOLD, SATURATED were some of the adjectives I found describing this fun, bright pink.

As I have said before, I LOVE BLUE, so I am thrilled that blue is a dominant color in this years forecast. I am seeing it EVERYWHERE.... at the fabric store, at the craft store, on the clothing racks at just about every store I stop in. WOO HOO.

CORAL ROSE

NOW, will that color wake your up or WHAT?????

Funny that it is one of the colors being used in my son's wedding next week....

How fashion forward were the bride and groom to be?????

Or take a look at this bright, orangey hue on the night table below.....LOVE IT!!!!

 The pale minty hue is relaxing and calming, and just the color I may be needing in the bathroom next to my "Spaqua" colored bedroom.

The Valspar paint color, "Spaqua", that I chose for my guest bedroom (which has really been my room for the past 8 months) reminds me a little of the next color from Pantone......(with MAYBE a little more green in it tho)...


BLUE CURACAO

Described as blue with undertones of aquamarine, this color makes me HAPPY....


Sinc Aqua has a lot of blue in it.....you would have to know I would love it.

Well, that is it for now, but there are more fun forecast colors from Pantone,

and I will show you all of them soon.!!!

Until next time.....
