One color group that I'm excited to see in the 2007 color trend line up is the grass roots colors.
Excerpt from Pantone, "Grass Roots looks to indigenous crafts and materials that bring a regional flavor to products or environments. Some of those regions might be far–flung while some are much closer to home. In reality, while some of the products may be mass produced, they look as if they are hand– hewn, hand–loomed or individually crafted. Grass Roots starts with the variations on a green theme, moves on to mineral blue and various wood tones that are enhanced by unexpected mixes including grape, rose and terra cotta."
