Woven-Words

As an artist, I always try to challenge my color sense and perspective when designing textiles.  After much observation, Brentano’s eighth annual Color Forecast predicts shades that will be popular in the upcoming year and hues that will dictate the future of design.  It is a very exciting time of the year at Brentano as we introduce which colors we have been focusing on for product development.

Coral – With a cheeky personality and bold flair, Coral’s pop of color is a powerful punch.  The zesty accent – uplifting and bright – adds a splash of excitement to the traditional household.

Elephant – First forecast by Brentano in 2016, Elephant’s popularity carries over into 2017.  This dependable neutral highlights its practicality by complementing both warm and cool interiors.

Chartreuse – The crisp hot hue Chartreuse evokes refreshing warmth in a unique and stylish way.   The harmonious hue – a fusion of green and gold – perfectly balances beauty with brilliance.

Peacock – Polished Peacock, calm and cool, remains as current as when it appeared in Brentano’s 2016 forecast. The jewel-toned teal – more romantic than sapphire but fresher than navy – fills a room with peace and serenity.

Bloom – Glowing with grace, Bloom is cultivated for its flourishing beauty.  This fashion forward pinkness is comfortable being soft, with a dominant newfound voice in design.

Almost Black – Elegantly refined and dignified, this colorless shade displays confidence.  Almost Black, pair-able with almost any color, makes for a bold accent; or can be luxurious all on its own.
