Six Color Cues from High Point Market

Fresh back from a four-day tour of High Point Market — North Carolina’s furniture equivalent of New York’s Fashion Week — we scouted miles of showrooms for the latest product introductions and industry trends.  Though a chill was in the air — and a tornado whipped through a neighboring town — showrooms screamed spring in upbeat, colorful vignettes.  We break out some of the season’s trending hues in six color categories:

1. Thinking Pink: Varying shades of pink, from the palest of blushes to the most vibrant of fuchsias had a strong presence.

2. Purple Persuasion: Pantone’s 2018 Color of the Year, Ultra Violet, has led to varying interpretations in home décor from pale lavender and lilac, to deep aubergine and plum.

3. Hues of Blue: From soft sky blue, to vivid teal, peacock, or deep navy and indigo — shades of blue continue to be a sure-fire favorite in both apparel and home fashions.

6. Red Rising:  Red — already popular on runways — turned heads in many showrooms, including Wesley Hall, which declared “Pompeii” as their spring 2018 color of the season.
