Space-age whites and silvers are the colors of choice for consumer electronics. Cobalts, violets and greens lend themselves to translucent glass and plastic accents."

OrangeUGlad?

I hope you all like orange because it's everywhere and here to stay for a while. Personally, I love orange, it's fun, lively and energizing. Take a look at some new items from the modern childrens designer DucDuc featuring this lively color.

You can get your hands on the years hot new colors at Fishs Eddy. They've got a snappy new collection of plates serving up Pantone's latest colors.

2007 Color Trends

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."
