A color that used to be strictly for fashion is the Group's pick, set to be the year's biggest star for everything else. What is it? The leading international organization of color design professionals says its GRAPE.
Officially called "Mardi Grape," it is "a sophisticated crossover between purple, brown and gray. It comes from fashion and has European roots."
According to CMG's president, James Martin, "Purple has been with us for awhile now, but the big story is that we're seeing purple as a neutral for the very first time. The purple is browner and grayer, a neutral we can love long-term."
CMG also predicts these trends:
Red - Strong with pink intuition; bright and clean with energy and excitement -- a clean pop to go with neutrals.
Orange - A rich, sophisticated color that moves away from earth-based colors to an optimistic orange, seasoned with a touch of gray.
Yellow - A greener, more natural yellow, softened with gray.
Green - Optimistic and uplifting, a clear and bright accent green with a slight shift toward blue.
Blue - A saturated blue with gray influences; rich without being too luxe.
Beige-Brown - A true chameleon to complement darker hues, it can be either matte or metallic.
Neutral/Gray - Gray with a touch of purple, drawing inspiration from mineral, concrete and steel.
The Color Marketing Group, the leading international non-profit association of color design professionals, has been accurately predicting color trends for more than 45 years.
