This is the month when all the shelter magazines come out with their colour trends for the upcoming year (January editions). There are similarities to what is also predicted by the paint companies but a few standouts include:
Heathered grey - designers love using grey and this one adds a lovely depth and surprisingly a warmth to a space
 |
| Down Pipe No. 26 - Farrow & Ball |
Acid yellow - a similar yellow looked fantastic in the 2011 Princess Margaret Showhome's dream country kitchen
 |
| Olive Chartreuse 6102-54 - Sico |
Raspberry red - great as an accent
 |
| Rum Punch 231-7 - PPG Pittsburgh Paints |
Deep blue - a touch of classic Wedgewood blue and works well with the chinoiserie trend
 |
| Chinese Porcelain 449-6, PPG Pittsburgh Paints |
Pantone proclaimed that Tangerine Tango 17-1463TCX was the colour of 2012 - I like it but probably only as an accent colour. I think it would look fantastic with a deep navy or a grey to tone it down. It's expected to be a hot colour for Spring in the fashion world so we'll see how that carries into fabrics and then translated into cushions, bedding, rugs, accessories, etc.
