<p>Interesting story on color forecasting:</p>

<p>I just thought the following exerpt was hilarious:</p>
<p>"But both groups predict a continued dominance of blues in the next year or so, with a surge in metallic colors like silver and gold displacing the some of the browns.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Jaime Stephens, director of the Color Marketing Group, said societal and economic trends influence color trends. Several years ago, Stephens said the group predicted that increased awareness of environmental interest would spark a resurgence in greens — a trend that continues to play out.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Bredenfoerder said the Beijing Olympics next year could spark a trend in reds and yellows, traditional Chinese colors. Globalization and the increasing influence of countries like China and India also play a role. Bredenfoerder said the traditional spice colors associated with India have been in vogue, and with that has come a revival of teal, a blue shade which complements them."</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">So - blue, silver, gold, green, red, yellow, and spice are the new colors! </p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Basically, anything but brown. </p>
