Sherwin-Williams' color forecast for 2010, part four --the last day
Sherwin-Williams' final predictive palette for 2010 is what they're calling Refreshed. It's playful and bright and is an opposite direction reaction to the current mood of doom and gloom that will swallow you whole if you let it. It's a welcome diversion and every time I look at this I'm reminded of Kelly James from Design Ties . I don't think anything could get that woman down. Right Kelly? From Sherwin-Williams' website :
Refreshed
exuberant, fresh, optimism
Tropical blooms. Sunny days. Playful exploration. It's time to take a vacation and allow our cares melt away. Happy spaces are here again, bringing fresh florals, brilliant juicy hues and exuberant combos. It's the kaleidoscopic sprit of the '60s married to the jewel tones of the '80s, with a worldwide twist. Cultural affects and motifs mingle freely, developing a bohemian mosiac that sings in perfect concord.

So what's this one do for you? On the whole, how on do you think Sherwin-Williams is with this whole series of palettes? I find these kinds of predictions to be captivating. Despite how it may appear on the surface, these things have a huge amount of thought and research behind them. If you could predict a couple of colors to sum up what we'll find next year, what would they be and why?
