The Color for 2010
Pantone says this is the Color of the Year for 2010
The first step to using bold colors successfully—whether in your closet or in your home—is quality materials. Bright dynamic colors can be very unforgiving when the sewing is shoddy, the paint is poorly mixed, or the “pleather” is a little too.
But spend wisely; color trends are just that, and there’s no need to break the bank on pieces you won’t want to look at in a year. (Tracy wants to paint the inside of her front door turquoise, and her husband refuses; he’s sure they’ll be sick of it by the fall.)
Deep blue-green in the form of peacock shades has already been extremely popular in the last few months, and you will start to see even more in turquoise (and its lighter cousin aqua) in the months to come, in décor, fashion and cosmetics. Here are some Savvy ways to bring turquoise into your life in the new year.
