2010 Color Trends

Color Experts Farrow & Ball Create 4 Key Color Trends for 2010  I just received the run down on the 2010 color trends from <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/" target="_blank">Farrow & Ball</a>. They are all fresh and exciting combinations. I like the earthy shades in the Industrial color trends palette.  The subtle, natural colors in the Aquatic color trends palette would be dreamy in a bedroom. I especially like the dark and dramatic colors in the Urban Decay color trends palette (Pitch Black No.256 is one of my all time favourite accent colors). And how can you top the Glitz & Glamour color trends palette for adding a bit of pizzazz to a room. I would stick with the neutrals for the largest areas (Cat's Paw No.240, Savage Ground No.213,Ringwold Ground No.208) and use the brighter accent colors sparingly, maybe incorporating them in artwork and accessories. 1. Industrial 2010 Color Trends: A strong but fragile fusion of colour. Inspired by industrial architecture, this look is all about modernity mixed with tradition. Old and new are combined in an urban palette of muted tones that mimic the earthy shades of natural materials such as stone, clay, chalk and brick. Team soft grey based neutrals such as <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0228CW&cid=PC&language=en-GB">Cornforth White No.228</a> and <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0242PG&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Pavilion Gray No.242</a> with intense and inky darks such as <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0057OB&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Off-Black No.57</a> and <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0026DP&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Down Pipe No.26</a> to create a contemporary scheme. The deep, dramatic hues are accented and uplifted by splashes of vibrant, zestful colour with citrus shades such as <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0223BB&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Babouche No.223</a> or <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0070OR&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Orangery No.70</a>. <img alt="2010 Color Trends" height="325" src="http://www.farrow-ball.exvn.com/images/1009-na-temp/swa1.jpg" width="336" /> 2010 Color Trends Key colours for the Farrow & Ball Industrial 2010 Color Trends : Farrow & Ball Down Pipe No.26 Farrow & Ball Off-Black No.57 Farrow & Ball Pavilion Gray No.242 Farrow & Ball Cornforth White No.228 Farrow & Ball Setting Plaster No.231 Farrow & Ball Orangery No.70 Farrow & Ball Babouche No.223 Farrow & Ball Blackened No.2011 2. Aquatic 2010 Color Trends: A soft, watery palette defined by the elements. This is a gentle, tranquil scheme. Subtle, natural colours are starkly contrasted with strong inky blues and combined with the reflective qualities of light, glass and mirrors for a diluted, watery look featuring freshwater tones. Try <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=2001SW&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Strong White No.2001</a> or <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=2010JW&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">James White No.2010</a> teamed with the soft <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0252PB&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Pavilion Blue No.252</a> or <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0250TG&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Tunsgate Green No.250</a>, and underpinned by <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0210BG&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Blue Ground No.210</a>, <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0253DR&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Drawing Room Blue No.253</a> or <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0030HB&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Hague Blue No.30</a>. <img alt="2010 Color Trends" height="325" src="http://www.farrow-ball.exvn.com/images/1009-na-temp/swa2.jpg" width="356" />  2010 Color Trends Key colours for the Farrow & Ball Aquatic 2010 Color Trends: Farrow & Ball Pavilion Blue No.252 Farrow & Ball Tunsgate Green No.250 Farrow & Ball Blue Ground No.210 <img height="1" src="http://www.farrow-ball.exvn.com/images/0909b/bit.gif" width="125" /> Farrow & Ball James White No.2010 Farrow & Ball Hague Blue No.30 Farrow & Ball Strong White No.2001 Farrow & Ball Drawing Room Blue No.253 3. Urban Decay 2010 Color Trends: A vibrant scheme with an unpredictable twist. Bold and graphic, this look is heavily influenced by the global economic meltdown and features the strong use of vibrant colours, but with an urban edge. Team dark and dramatic colours such as <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0254PL&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Pelt No.254</a> and <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0256PB&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Pitch Black No.256</a> together in a scheme for a theatrical look and experiment with paint finish as well as colour to make a real statement. Use Eco Full Gloss to create a high shine surface and inject with zingy, bright colours such as <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0214AR&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Arsenic No.214</a> and <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0233DY&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Dayroom Yellow No.233</a> for added impact and the ultimate visual scheme! <img alt="2010 Color Trends" height="325" src="http://www.farrow-ball.exvn.com/images/1009-na-temp/swa3.jpg" width="347" /> 2010 Color Trends Key colours for the Farrow & Ball Urban Decay 2010 Color Trends : Farrow & Ball Pelt No.254 Farrow & Ball Pitch Black No.256 Farrow & Ball Oval Room Blue® No.85 Farrow & Ball Parma Gray® No.27 Farrow & Ball Dayroom Yellow No.233 Farrow & Ball Arsenic No.214 Farrow & Ball Great White No.2006 4.  Glitz & Glamour 2010 Color Trends: A decadent look that celebrates excess. In complete contrast to Urban Decay, this look is all about wealth and indulgence. Use rich and opulent shades like <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0222BJ&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Brinjal No.222</a>, <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0220PB&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Pitch Blue No.220</a> and <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0251CG&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Churlish Green No.251</a>, alongside shimmering gold and metallics for an extravagant feel. This glamorous, glitzy look has a Middle Eastern influence, so colours include exotic shades which combine and collide in a celebration of colour and excess. Try <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0049PP&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Porphyry Pink No.49</a>, <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0222BJ&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Brinjal No.222</a> and <a href="http://www.farrow-ball.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=0251CG&cid=PC&language=en-GB" target="_blank">Churlish Green No.251</a>; a riot of colour with an adventurous twist. Key to this look is the myriad of colours – definitely not for the faint-hearted! <img alt="2010 Color Trends" height="303" src="http://www.farrow-ball.exvn.com/images/1009-na-temp/swa4.jpg" width="380" /> 2010 Color Trends Key colours for the Farrow & Ball Glitz & Glamour 2010 Color Trends : Farrow & Ball Brinjal No.222 Farrow & Ball Cat's Paw No.240 Farrow & Ball Churlish Green No.251 Farrow & Ball Savage Ground No.213 Farrow & Ball Pitch Blue No.220 Farrow & Ball Porphyry Pink No.49 Farrow & Ball Cinder Rose No.246 Farrow & Ball Ringwold Ground No.208 What is your favourite 2010 Color Trends palette?  Please let me know by leaving a comment [<a href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6842244027880136050&postID=7991315225902383678&isPopup=true" target="_blank">here</a>]. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/">PATRICIA GRAY INC</a> is an award winning interior design firm writing about lifestyle and WHAT'S HOT in the world of interior design, architecture, art and travel. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/">2011 © Patricia Gray | Interior Design Blog™</a>

My Grandmother taught me to knit when I was 5 and I have continued to knit on and off over the years. I love going into yarn shops and feasting my eyes on all the colors and textures available. On my last trip to the yarn shop I was captivated by this most exquisite shade of teal blue. It is a blend of wool mohair and silk, and knits up as soft and light as a spider's web. I love working with bamboo needles. This scarf is super easy. Cast on as many stitches as you need to make the scarf the width you want and then just knit every row until it is long enough. For this season extra long and very narrow scarves seem to be all the trend.Happy Knitting If you have any knitting projects on the go please leave a comment [<a href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6842244027880136050&postID=801431938834355396&isPopup=true" target="_blank">here</a>].
