The big news in colour is Copper Orange, Colour of the year 2015. Copper has been an emergent trend for a while now, and shows no sign of waning (the Facade of the Year is also copper).
Colour forecasting is a fascinating world, as I discovered in a workshop I attended this morning given by the paint and coatings manufacturer AkzoNobel. It’s not just about the colours we will be buying into in the year ahead; it is an indicator of the way we live and what we are striving for. The other big ideas behind the colour forecast for 2015 are themes of transparency and layering (refer the House of the Year 2014, a transparent house); his and hers, a celebration of the differences between us; merging and gradient colours and non repeating pattern (no more matchy matchy); noticing the undiscovered and negative space.
Fascinating. More, here. Happy weekend.

.. but what I really love is this picture gallery J .
hooray! thank you 🙂 i’m always happy with blue greys…
Interesting to hear about transparency becoming an emerging trend also. So glad to be rid of the matchy matchy style and love copper! xD
hi doris, transparency and non-colour – how interesting, i agree! copper is such a warm colour; i also love the combining of unusual colour combinations, the greens with yellow undertones, and my favourite blue greys 🙂
