09 / 10 Color Trends Surreal
As human beings, we exist between the two metaphors of earth and sky.
Each one of us stands with our feet planted squarely on the earth, and our head in the sky.
When exposed to the ever-changing events of life, we will use these perspectives to look at
the new world around us.
The earth represents all that is logical, tangible and knowable, and through discovery and
observation, it creates the world we know. We all share this knowledge through our vast
store of accumulated, collective experiences. Our Indie and Journey palettes are two
expressions that reflect our reality and are linked directly to our cultures and origins.
The sky represents our aspirations. Just as we need to breathe, we need to dream. This dream-like field
is full of the magical, exciting, surprising and uplifting. The Wonderland and Avatar
palettes illustrate what could be, the creative side of things. Wonderland stands for
our dreams of harmony; Avatar, for our dreams of adventure.

The Green movement is being broadcasted from every angle from fashion to home decor; food to automobiles, and for many it has become, the new way of life. This trend is leading us toward a new outlook on our core values and the ways we express ourselves. Among the social trends considered in evaluating the effects of the green movement on colors and styles, we see 3 major influencing ideas.

Beauty, in our quest for quality of life, is not only an aesthetic concept but also an expression of moral value. The world of design resonates well with that new attitude, bringing forward an expression that caters to sensory well-being, preoccupation for sustainability and ethical practices.
The idea of recycling in remixing and reviewing the past
A strong symbolism is captured by objects of the past. They represent a visual and cultural history that connects us to others with similar experiences and conjures up emotions of times and places we collectively cherished. As for the green perspective, the recycling of objects has a direct impact on the limitation of our waste.
The idea of Creativity as key to a greener future
