Color choices: I started out this week with something simple but still very important to design…and me.

I love color…all color, color combinations, shades, gradients, etc, etc. So when it comes time for me to choose a color for my design, I often can’t choose just one…or two. I often look at what color “fits” for the particular design or question how to incorporate a color I’ve been obsessing over into the design.

This leads me into Pantone’s 2012 color of the year, Tangerine Tango. It’s a very fun, bold color that pairs nicely with others. I wanted to know more ‘Color of The Year’ selections from previous years. I did some looking…first color was in 2000 with Cerulean.  As I grouped the yearly color winners, I noticed it’s mainly reds & blues.

So, that’s Pantone take. What I am interested in is hearing from you…what colors do you want to see more of when it comes to the home décor industry?…fashion?...or any other field of design?  Please remember to be descriptive about the color.

Can’t wait to hear the results!!

Design & Fashion (with an occasional blog of randomness)

Let’s keep this light, fun, and to the point by helping each other out and providing useful insight and feedback. I’ll start out with a blog a week. That way there’s enough time to allow for comments/questions. Let’s start!!

A little FYI about me…

A Lighting Designer going through the lengthy process of writing a business proposal that will hopefully fuel my business into a full-time thing. I’ve created this blog to expose my personal process of production when it comes to designing and starting a business. In a few months I’ll post my designs and models through the prototype process into the final production model.

Design Enthusiasts: Hope that you will visit again and participate in questions/images that are posted.
