2013 Fall Trends


From earth to sky, the natural world influences our color inspiration.

Every day we are surrounded by color inspiration, from fashion to entertainment, colors are everywhere.  The most spectacular of these are from Mother Nature, offering colors and combinations that are rich with every hue imaginable.  As we move into the Fall season, it is easy to find spectacular displays of color.  If you are in need of updating your color scheme or you’re just looking for that one accent color to set your space apart, look to nature this season.

Clean Cottage Bedroom with cool blue wallsPantone Moroccan Blue Color ChipBlue From inky darks to light Robin’s Egg, blue is driving color trends.  Where green has influenced color over the last ten years, blue will continue to increase its influence.  Watch and see if Pantone announces their 2014 Color of the Year as a rich Moroccan Blue, a wonderful rich blue, an easy to use classic (think ColorEssentials 0655 Queen of the Night).  Orange/Red  Both red and orange seems to be mixed and toned into wonderfully warm accents that are exciting to use.  Reds with orange undertones are everywhere like earthy, brick tones that are easy to insert into almost any color scheme.  Green  Green has matured into the new neutral, toned-greens are replacing grays as an easy background color that can pair with so many colors.  Earthy Tonals  Warm browns are gaining acceptance… as gray continues to dominate…. Light off-whites are being paired with dark neutrals, offering dramatic contrasts.
