Color Marketing Group Predicts That Mardi Grape Will Be The 2010’S Hottest Color

The Color Marketing Group is the leading international organization of color design professionals. They predict that “Mardi Grape” will be this year's hottest color, described as “a crossover between purple, brown, and gray” (www.colormarketing.org). As a matter of fact, it's even being considered a neutral color. A color we can use as a backdrop for a main color scheme in a room and used in large areas of our homes.

Should we be surprised that “Mardi Grape” is the color for 2010? Not at all! Purples have been an accent color on the trend forecasts the last several years. Now it's time to step it up a notch. Gray's have been making their way back into the scene as a neutral, in some cases replacing the beige we are so used to seeing. It's only natural to start combing the gray with a brighter color. Naturally the purple and gray have evolved into what we will see in 2010.

Get ready to see it in paint, wall art, accessories, decorative pillows, and rugs. For paint colors, try Benjamin Moore's Affinity Colors Collection, Wisteria AF-585 or Tempest AF-590. “Mardi Grape” will work with many different colors such as gray, a yellow that's grayed out, gray-blue and even a clean soft green. As always, beige's will work well when paired with “Mardi Grape,” especially golden beige colors. Accessories may incorporate the “Mardi Grape” color in vases, candles, chargers, and even floral. I predict that “Mardi Grape” will be more popular in the modern style trends. It will look sharp next to sofas with sharp edges. Geometric patterns found in fabrics and wall art will be very receptive to the “Mardi Grape.” Brushed silver and brushed gold's will pair nicely with it. Ebony and maple colored woods will pop nicely off of this backdrop color.

“Mardi Grape” will also work well in kitchens with light colored cabinets such as maple or painted white. Look for areas to repeat colors within tile, backsplashes, and laminate's. The same idea can be repeated for areas in the bathrooms.
