Interior colors take their cue from the world of fashion, with hot pigments parading down runways at least one year prior to their debut in décor. This season marks a departure from the safer hues of yore, and a turn toward brighter, optimistic (and personal) schemes. As a natural extension of the many voices making themselves heard online and the volume of choices in consumer goods, comes color confidence: Today, people feel more comfortable wielding color that expresses their inner desires. We're seeing bold palettes highlighting watery turquoises, true reds, spicy oranges, metallics, and amped-up yellow-green shades. And with paint companies offering samples to help encourage experimentation and minimize the risk of a botched color job, now is the time to brighten your outlook.
- spicy saffron: Warm and expressive oranges move into the limelight
- gray's anatomy: Incorporate tones and textures to make a gray palette shine
- green house: Anything but moldy, chartreuse shades represent life and nature
