Hot Color Trend for 2013

It's a new year which means a new trend of colors in interior design.  Let's take a look at them.

 GREEN
With a growing interest in sustainability and nature, green earned it's right to be on the list.  Traditional palettes of avocado and chartreuse will remain popular, but expect more toned greens like olive and gray-green. 


Pink

Pink has finally made the leap into adulthood...jk... but seriously, the newest mix version of magenta, like an elegant blush is making a mature statement.


Neutral

Dark wood colors like walnut or coffee.  You can include blonde and honey.  



Gray

Sophistication and eclectic design, this neutral palettes can be created using the gray family.  Warm or cool, the color lends itself to texture, emphasizing a tactility not always found within a color spectrum.  


Purple
Great on patterns and textures, purple lies in subtlety.  For example, a gray hue with a purple tint. 
White

We are not talking about plain vanilla here... white is getting softer.  How? white is getting mixed with a spectrum of blues, greens, and grays to create a palette more conducive to pastels. 


BLUE TONES

It's the color of trust! During a time of economic and social unrest, it makes this an attractive hue.  HOT  RIGHT NOW: monochromatic schemes of mid-tone blues. 


Red/Orange

Two colors grouped into one category. Yes! Cool shades of red are losing it's ground compared to warm, yellow undertones.  Hot Red/Orange palette appears on luxury cars.


Yellow

This color is adding excitement to neutral surroundings
