Fall 2009 Color Trends

I LOVE LOVE LOVE color!  If my accountant husband was a little more of a risk taker my house would have lots of color, but right now our compromise is to have be neutral overall with accents of color.  While it's not my first choice I've found that in a way it also caters towards my need for changing out color fairly frequently.  Case in Point:  In the 5 years we lived at our last house, the kitchen was painted 4 different times!  Our current neutral scheme keeps everything coordinated and then I can easily trade out a few pillows and accessories to make the space totally different.  I've been thinking about which colors to go with this fall and checked the color forecast.  I'm loving the palette this fall, especially the brownish greys.  Based on the Pantone Team's predictions here are the colors:


Fall Color Trends 2009


Which one is your favorite?  I'm thinking the earthy scheme would work well this fall for me.


(And yes this is the fashion forecast but look for these colors to display themselves in interiors too!)  This is also your way to be ahead and talk like the pros!  Next year watch for these colors to be huge in interiors, as interior design follows closely behind fashion design.
