Part 2. Working with Colour Trends - Shades of Blue

Let's look at what other colours are 'hot' for 2015?


Pantone® has released their top colours for the spring season and have chosen the theme
  "En Plien Air" ("in the open air").

Cool, refreshing and calming shades of blue will be trending this season with Aquamarine topping the charts!


Blue is a very popular colour combination for many different occasions, some of the more obvious ones being the celebration of a new baby boy, male birthdays, "Under the Sea" theme parties and of course the famous "Tiffany" theme...

Working with Colour Trends - Marsala

Colour play's an important part of our lives, so how are we influenced by colour trends? 


Each year specialists from many industries including fashion, pop culture, technology, music and travel scour the globe in search of emerging colour trends. Colour trends are not, as you might imagine, found by simply seeing what's it hot in the fashion world, they are actually inspired by global influences that reflect the spirit of the time.

Each year Pantone announces the Colour of Year. The colour is determined by a select group of people who between them, debate and eventually chose the colour on it's agreed merits.

To give you an example, in 2013 Emerald was selected as the Colour of the Year. It was felt that the colour Emerald represented growth, renewal, and prosperity and in turn could be associated with the changing  economy as it began to recover.



The 2015 'Colour of the Year' has been named Marsala - a "naturally robust and earthy wine red'.


Pantone suggest that this colour will "encourage creativity and experimentation" and is "both dramatic and at the same time grounding".
