Predictions from a Colour Expert

Tuesday, 07 July 2009

Posted by Niki Fulton at 09:50 AM in Colour

Justine Fox, colour expert at Global Color Research™ Limited, presents a colour of the month, helping you to understand how colour psychology affects trends. This month she looks at how Lilac is set to take over in the fabrics industry for 2010.

The heady perfumed spring flower comes in a range of colours, but the word Lilac straight away conjures up a soft light purple your grandmother would have loved. It is said that the flower symbolises the first flush of love; think Easter, new beginnings and spring. Is this why it has been flagged by many fabric manufacturers as the show colour of choice for the 2010 season? Perhaps the choice of colour is linked to encouraging new growth in the economy.

Many thanks to Justine for writing this blog and supplying the photograph. I look forward to the next edition of Mix magazine
