Sneak Peek of the Pantone 2015 Collection

With much enthusiasm, Pantone, the world renowned experts on colour, have released a sneak peek of their upcoming collection, 2015 Trend Preview: The Pantone Colours that will Define the Year Ahead.

Moving away from the softer, eclectic hues from the 2015 Spring collection, En Plein Air which used natural hues of soft pinks and cool blues, this collection will showcase playful colours that take on more character with stronger pigments. ‘Wood Violet’ is an adventurous combination of blue with hints of purple that will breathe new life into just about any room. Though brilliant colours are prominent in this collection, they are tamed by equally stunning neutrals like ‘Champagne Beige’ or ‘Frosted Almond’ and earthier shades like ‘Deep Mahogany’ and ‘Desert Taupe.’

“Consumer preferences, behaviors and lifestyles are constantly evolving spawning a desire for fresh color palettes in both home and interior design,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “While rigid color rules have been replaced by more creative guidelines, style and color coordination in the home remains a consistent goal.
