Color is what drives sales in the Home Furnishings and Fashion industries along with several other industries. If it is the right product but the wrong color the customer is less likely to buy therefore creating problems for the producer. So what will be the hot new colors for this Fall? Well, they are a mix of muted popular colors and classic neutrals mixed together to create a spicy combinations of earth tones. Here are a few colors to keep your eye out for this upcoming season:

• American Beauty: this flattering true red is neither harsh nor over-the-top.
• Rapture Rose: this color plays upon the vibrancy of last season’s fuschia but is toned down a little with soft pink.
• Burnt Sienna: more a pinkish, earthy orange, reminiscent of Mediterranean terracotta roof tiles. Warm and comforting, probably the most-fall like of all the shades.
• Majolica Blue: adding an exotic feel to the color group this cross between teal blue and navy complements oranges and purple hues perfectly.
• Purple Heart: sitting somewhere between true purple and lilac, this refined tone is soft and sensual.
• Warm Olive: a rich yellowy green, reminiscent of an olive in a martini, which, according to Pantone’s Fall 2009 report “makes all other colors come alive.”
• Honey Yellow: a warm and welcoming yellow with a hint of honeyed beige. A perfect partner to Burnt Sienna for a wintry feel.
• Crème Brûlée: needs no explanation for those who love its namesake, the delicious French desert. Providing one of fall’s classic neutrals, this paired down mix of gray and ivory beige looks good enough to eat!
  Nomad: another timeless neutral which falls between light gray and beige serves as an anchor for more robust colors
• Iron: represents the “new black” of the season. Neither a true gray nor brown it falls more in the category of a cross between slate and gunmetal. This serves as a grounding color for all other tones.

So whether it is clothing and accessories or home décor and kitchen appliances keep watch for these hot new colors coming this fall.
