color | marsala | pantone color of the year

will 2015 be a year of contrasts?

if color forecasts are any indication, then maybe so.

color authority pantone, a division of x-rite that provides professional color standards for the design industries, named marsala as the color of the year for 2015.

marsala is a color that exudes confidence and stability
-leatrice eiseman, executive director of the pantone color institute®

but, benjamin moore paints chose a complementary color, guilford green, as the 2015 color of the year.

could it be coincidental that sherwin-williams and pantone both featured red and green in their marketing materials?

or, that berry red is one of the colors that benjamin moore suggests to combine with guilford green.

when you mix complementary colors like red and green together, you create brown.

pantone is receiving mixed reviews for choosing a brownish color like marsala as the color of the year for 2015.

PS.  ppg pittsburgh paints just announced that blue paisley is their 2015 COTY (color of the year).

could no trend direction be the trend direction?

color | facebook blue + twitter green

does social media influence design trends?


john turner, director of architect and designer segments for benjamin moore paints, thinks so.

while presenting color pulse 2013, benjamin moore's annual color trend forecast during design san francisco 2012,  turner predicted that facebook and twitter colors will be some of the most directional colors for 2014.

interesting idea...

the furniture vignettes in the kravet showroom at the san francisco design center (sfdc) already feature blue and green occasional furniture and upholstery fabrics.

and, blue and green color schemes are already receiving some media attention.
