I’m fascinated by how each year the colours we use change and progress into new ideals of colours.. and where it is decided that THOSE will be the colours that will fill the shops for us to choose from the following year.. I think seasonal adjustments in colours are understandable, lighter floatier colours for summer and brighter stronger colours in spring… but how those tones can change from each year.. inspired by whats on the catwalk?

I had been looking out of interest at the colours forcasted for this year with colour forcasters such as pantone and then I picked at random a clothing manufacturer to see how close those colour predictions are, in this case I think pretty close. According to pantone the colour for this year, in home painting is- Iris Blue.

Check this if you love playing around with colour combinations and find your own personal colours or let them loose or something.
