Color Forecast 2008

The ethereal hues of the sky emerge as an environmental statement for 2008. Blues used this year range from light atmospheric shades that suggest icy winds to deep purplish-blues reminiscent of rumbling thunderclouds. Blues show up outside baths and bedrooms this year, gracing kitchens in all areas of décor. Along with its nod to environmentalism, blue also adds a sense of spiritual and meditative reflection to a room. See next color trend.
