I recently attended a color seminar presented by Jackie Jordan, Director of Color Marketing for Sherwin-Williams. It was lots of fun to hear about the upcoming color trends and I'm happy to share with you! If you'd like to see large sample color cards for any upcoming painting project, call me! I'd love to help pick the right color for you!
This is what she had to say:
The Sherwin-Williams colormix™ 2012 forecast proves a color palette doesn’t need to stray far from its roots to make a big design impact.
“Colors that are analogous, or adjacent on the color wheel, are a dominant trend,” said Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams. “We discover a fresh array of combinations within color families ― be it fiery reds, watery blues, grassy greens or organic neutrals.”
Forget the expected tone-on-tone pairings. Sherwin-Williams color experts drew inspiration from fashion-forward color-washing and ombré dyeing techniques to experiment with color values and hues within color families to create four vibrant palettes. They also embraced the sustainable landscape ― which has become an enduring influence on all aspects of décor and design.
“Just hone in on a color you love and the ideal, natural complement will be right nearby,” Jordan said.
The 40 hues highlighted in colormix 2012 stay close to home with earth-inspired, color family groupings: Reds, Blues, Greens and Neutrals.
