Would anyone care for a drink?

A while back Pure Contemporary asked if brown was on its way out? At a panel discussion for the Color Association of the United States (CAUS), an organization that has forecasted color trends for interiors and environments for more than 85 years, designer Clodagh predicted a very spirited array for 2007 - 2008.

Bringing with her seven illustrated boards, Clodagh drew inspiration from food, drink, art, film and travel. Among her picks - Pinot Noir for its warm wine, red and magenta tones, and Mint from Mojitos and Mint Juleps. Expect to see splashes of vibrant oranges and reds - Clodagh's Sienna board was up for discussion amongst the panel.
