Sherwin Williams has videos for color stories <\/a>with names like Midnight Mystery (“The colors are moody, the vibe is masculine and the aesthetic is both Victorian and futuristic.”) Watch the video to see how they match the colors with the words and ideas.<\/p>\n If you want to surround yourself with a color you find inspiring, Sherwin Williams offers an app for you phone <\/a>to color match whatever you photograph with a paint.<\/p>\n From The Ultrabright: In December of 2011 we predicted that for the spring\/summer 2013 season the consumer would continue to drift between the real and unreal \u2013 their fantasies and reality. We also predicted that for the upcoming season the color focus will be on nature-inspired shades, 90s bleached hues and hyper-real brights. Here we offer you a confirmation of the colors we predicted for spring\/summer 2013, Future Color Forecast: spring\/summer 2013<\/em><\/a>, as well as a global overview of the most important colors for the upcoming summer season, as seen during the four major fashion weeks: New York, London, Milan and Paris. \u2026read more <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Lenzing is a company that makes color.

Here’s what they estimate people are\u00a0 thinking about: The palette called Connoisseur<\/strong>\u00a0takes a fresh approach to\u00a0 celebrating the finer things in life while displaying a sense of history and\u00a0 elegance. Whether it is the perfect plate or the smooth finish of a simple table\u00a0 linen, these fine sensibilities are often reflected in a choice of colors that\u00a0 are both sophisticated\u00a0and refined, yet not without a touch of understated\u00a0 drama. The colors are a compilation of monochromatic violets and orchids, liquid\u00a0 pink, deep mahogany, alyssum white and beechnut green, all reflected against\u00a0 champagne beige and silver.<\/p>\n Read more: Pantone View Home + Interiors 2013 Trend Forecast<\/a> http:\/\/www.dexigner.com\/news\/24716#ixzz2G7UHQR7J<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’m not suggesting that I do or you should follow seasonal color trends, but I find it interesting to see how other artists pair content with color choices, and how this reflects the mood\/s of the times. The color forecasting people do an interesting job with this. The ideas that color and value choices\u00a0(and thereby focus)\u00a0are about more than being “pretty” or appealing – that color and value\u00a0carry emotion and meaning – help to shape the works that bring your values to the table. We need, in both real and metaphoric terms, more people bringing personal values to that table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0Below, a bowl that features a yellow-green next to a cool teal, accented with purple fruit. Chartreuse can be\u00a0a color that denotes envy, to me. “Green with envy” doesn’t seem emerald-colored, but more sulphurous\u00a0green. It’s easy to mix by volume for majolica decoration with a bright praseodymium\u00a0yellow stain and copper – mixed 1\/2 bentonite: 1 copper: 3-4 yellow stain: 3 frit 3124 or similar. Add\u00a0a couple drops CMC gum or glycerin if you choose. Too much gum makes it slippery and hard to put down evenly. I do love that color, in general.\u00a0It’s also the color of new leaves in many plants, and the color of sunlight through new leaves\u00a0– I\u00a0see it most often as a growing, optimistic color. In this bowl, I imagined the fruit as the fruits of one’s labors, and being a bit envious of the ripeness of that fruit. The purple-toward-red is a complement to the green-toward-yellow, making both colors richer. The teal is a darker value, and makes the bottom of the bowl recede. The white rim (and lighter value of the leaf colors) helps the form expand visually toward the top, with a re-statement of green and blue-green to link to the rest of the bowl.<\/p>\n Designers often look at color forecasts, and make up palettes and\u00a0color stories, built around concepts for the season. The 2013 Pantone Color of the Year, Emerald, is described as \u00a0\u201c…the color of growth, renewal, and prosperity\u2014no other color conveys regeneration more than green.\u201d Well, that’s an optimistic choice for the new year.
