Well, here it is, fall again. Yet another exciting time of year is the introduction to the color trends for 2010!
The colors for 2010 are from Sherwin Williams Colormix and have been based on simplicity. Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing at Sherwin William's has said:
"Our color yearnings are now part of a deeper desire: to get back to basics, to re-evaluate and simplify complex lives, embrace what is important to us and let go of the rest."
You can get more details on why those chose the specific colors they did here.
