Curious about the 2009 color trends? We have the scoop!

While recently attending the National Builders Conference in Austin, TX, I had the chance to hear a speaker from the National Color Council. These council members determine the latest and hottest color trends. Here’s their take on what’s to come in 2009:

  • The hottest color for 2009 is watery blue
  • Red is very hot right now; some are attributing this to our society’s interest in the Summer Olympics
    Gold tones are also hot right now; possibly another nod to the Olympics
  • Mother Earth has her hand in the pot with natural neutral tones predicted in the next trend palette
  • Botanical greens and yellows will also gain ground due to their warmth and cheerful calming effects
