5 Key Colors for Fall/Winter 2016/17

November 2016 Color Trends

Fall/Winter 2016 sees a refocus on inspirational sources; we are rethinking and reassessing the world around us. As perspectives change, we gain more confidence with color usage and in turn engage with the effect color has on our surroundings.

Taking inspiration from our 2016/2017 trends, we look to the sheer beauty of dramatic landscapes, admiring the powerful and equally fragile planet. Also looking beyond the land, we seek inspiration from the surrounding oceans and into the dark depths of water. Historical and classical references also provide stimulus along with our innate child-like desire to play and interact.

All of the above reference our trends and inspire new directions in color. Here we will share 5 key colors to work with for Fall/Winter 2016/2017.

QUIET PEACE #0592 is a deep-water hue from our trend ABYSS that references the deepest oceans and the seascapes that we are yet to explore. Despite breadth of scientific discoveries in other areas, our planet still provides a great deal of intrigue and inspiration for design. This rich and deep tone can be applied to a variety of environments for a grounding and serene overall affect. This calming, intense blue would work well in a work-space or study area to give clarity and comfort within the space. Build a palette using this tone by combining QUIET PEACE #0592 with others from ABYSS such as softer aqua tones or pale neutral grey's to create a balanced outcome.

NORTH BEACH BLUE #0485 accompanies the QUIET PEACE #0592 tone from the ABYSS trend furthering the exploration of deep blues. This color references bleached textiles and our continuous pre-occupation with denim, not only in our wardrobes, but in our homes. The textile provides inspiration in the form of the stone washed color of NORTH BEACH BLUE #0485, which can act as an effective and innovative neutral for our walls. A touch of grey is mixed in to move away from sky blue colors, thus softening the tone and results in a more measured and sophisticated outcome for interiors. Pair with sandy beach hues for a gentle complimentary palette, or use tonal schemes of blues from ABYSS for a contemporary and cool look.
