2007 is going to be an eclectic and exciting year for color trends.  After several years of yellow based colors, dramatic reds and strong brown emphasis, the color palette will swing to the blue based colors.  Purple will lead the path and become the new “black”.  Purple will be the neutral that mixes with everything.  Pink, (yes, still pink) will continue to be prominent.  Lavender and other paler tints in the purple family will start to replace the pink hues.
