Going green is the new way in the world of design, and not to mention in business. Who doesn’t want to save a little green these days? Well...we certainly do! So, with that, have at it! Pour a little bit of green color into your life! Moss green is making its way into upscale home magazines and leaving its impression on new sustainable textiles. Let’s make 2011 a green and prosperous year!

We’ve seen it in the fashion industry on the likes of Mila Kunis and Cate Blanchett at the 2011 Academy Awards, and it’s making its statement on the cover of Australia’s current Vouge Living magazine! Lavender is not only useable in fashion, but is a beautiful color for your bedroom or accents for your living room. It signifies elegance and luxury in a toned down fashion. Historically, purple is associated with royalty...now, it's being used for everything from custom furniture fabrics, to wow-factor fashion garments. So go ahead and lather up in lavender for 2011!
Gorgeous Gray - Love It!I’m obsessed with shades of gray. Perhaps because it speaks to both the masculine and feminine. Slate and charcoal grays are the new neutrals, and muted dulled silvers are my best friends. From jewelry and fashion, to interiors and automotive design, we can’t get enough gray! I say, don’t ‘feel’ gray, GET gray! Go ahead and place a cool shade of gray with almost any color for a hot pairing. My suggestions; aqua or orange.

Now this is going to be a difficult one for me to understand, or better yet even use, but I would say it might be worth mentioning in this blog, since ‘Honeysuckle’ is Pantone’s 2011 Color of the Year.
My take is that this color might be fun to introduce into a commercial setting, like a fashion boutique, or a lounge bar. Pink is definitely a statement color that will be sure to attract some attention, regardless of where you use it!
