Dunn-Edwards Names 2016 Color Trends
A Dunn-Edwards color expert has predicted shades of pink and rose will be hot choices in 2016.
However, Sara McLean said the trends this year will go beyond a single color, according to a recent statement.
“I believe that the combination of colors tell the story,” she said. “It’s about the entire palette and how a collection of colors evokes a feeling, an era or a scene.”
Pinks and Roses
Dunn-Edwards examined color trends in modern fashion, lifestyle and culture to forecast what will be influential paint hues popular in home design this year.
Roses and pinks, traditionally held for more juvenile design, are becoming influential and more sophisticated. McLean said she observed soft blushing pinks have made their way into recent fashion, makeup and even automotive designs.
An example of this is Dunn-Edwards’ Minimal Rose (DE 5015), which is “a playful and modern pink that pairs well with other pastels for a retro vibe.
“Another harmonious pairing would be with blues and gray for a Scandinavian influence,” she said. “Try rose pink with a warm neutral for a traditional, more vintage color palette.”
