Robert Allen Hosts Sherwin-Williams 2010 Color Forecasting Events - colormix 2010

Robert Allen and Sherwin-Williams continue their multi-faceted collaboration in Fall 2009 with the Robert Allen | Beacon Hill showrooms hosting colormix 2010, presented by Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams and a chairholder of the Color Marketing Group. This CEU-accredited visual presentation uses imagery, statistics and research from the company's global forecasting team to identify the color and design trends for the months ahead. The twenty-four shades they selected are grouped into the four collections shown below. For the schedule of showroom events, click here.

ROOTED
It’s human instinct to seek the safety of the tribe. In today’s complicated world, there’s something deeply satisfying about re-exploring the world’s oldest, most enduring cultures. African, Aboriginal and Native American influences are converging to create a new tribal style with a drumbeat all its own. The colors are rich and earthy, with a hint of mystery. The appeal is as natural as the elements.

REFRESHED
Tropical blooms. Sunny days. Playful exploration. It’s time to take a vacation and let our cares melt away. Happy spaces are here again, bringing fresh florals, bright juicy colors and exuberant combinations. It’s the kaleidoscopic spirit of the ’60s married to the jewel tones of the ’80s, with a global twist. Cultural influences and motifs mingle freely, creating a bohemian mosaic that sings in perfect harmony.

SIMPLIFIED
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” That timeless wisdom from Leonardo da Vinci is now a modern mantra. Less is clearly the new more. But the aesthetic is artful rather than austere, with well-tailored lines and sheer, translucent materials that reveal shape and structure. Clarity and integrity are critical. We need to know and trust what we’re bringing into our environments. The hues are calm, subtle and nuanced, with undertones that shift according to their surroundings, for easy versatility.
