Colour for 2010

In 2009 natural and eco-conscious influences made green a very popular colour. In 2010, greens get fresher in shades of aquamarine and turquoise reminiscent of coastal waters.

Aquamarine

Purples of all sorts are popular right now. Amethyst, deep purple and smoky lavender are variations of this trend.

Purple

Grey is predicted to overcome brown as a preferred neutral this year. A soft colour scheme with layers of ivories and greys is a very pretty option.

Grey is also suggested as a good foil for the current brights:

grey & bright
