Pantone Releases Nine Major Palettes for 2015

Earlier this month, Pantone launched the Pantone View Home +Interiors Guide which contains the latest color and material trends for homes and interiors in 2015.

Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute said, "The key to selecting colors for any trend forecast is clear-eyed observation, an understanding of patterns, and the ability to translate all that is taking place in the world around us into color stories,"

She adds that their forecast is based not only on art and design trends but from a larger context including travel destinations, visual media and new technologies, among others. “Color is contextual and the color choices we make are often a direct reflection of the times in which we live.”

Pressman has also observed that consumers are now more comfortable with using rich hues in their homes. 2015's colors will be stronger in power and depth in comparison to recent seasons with reds and purples will be key.
