Life is but a stage...

The more things change the more they are alike. Color movements have been fast at times and slow as snails others but they are interesting just the same.

The most stable of colors are the neutrals and they remain so, after all, that is what they are meant to do. They are evolving into grayer tones as we move into 2010. They are the forgotten cast of characters that serve as the background for the stars of the show, the bright lights and the dramatic jewel tones. And warm neutrals will still dominate the palette with yellow cast beiges being the VIP’s.

Consumers are looking at ways to get a longer shelf life out of their major purchases, such as carpets and appliances by using neutrals and in doing so they leave the stage open for the crisper, more enlightening colors in the palette. These include the diva red that has become as common as the neutrals in the group. Crisp greens and ocean blues are the only cool stars in the play with the warm hearted golds, yellows and oranges as supporting players.

The ingénue is the lavender lady with the gray cloud surrounding her. She is a mysterious character only too willing to support the golden hues that sparkle in the palette. A spicy orange offers to upstage her with its brilliant flair and exciting talent.

Coming attractions include the real stars, the ones that shine in the sky. Photos from outer space give us a glimpse of their beauty and surprising combinations. Brilliant turquoise, sparkling gold, fiery orange and amazing purples dot the galaxy and remind us of our small part in the universe.
