More on Color Trends

I was just reading a trade magazine.  The article was called What's Moving Tomorrow's Markets Today.  It was a great article, but here's a highlight that caught my attention. "Some surprises are on the horizon....."  "Designers find that their clients are gravitating towards stronger colors not only as accents, but as major players in the design......Now it is not unusual to see lime green countertops, or an artisan backsplash combining oranges, greens, and metals.  Even divergent color schemes are striking a successful chord.  Imagine a color scheme of navy, black, chartreuse and bronze..." 

I was wondering what these rooms would look like, and I found these pictures to share:


Lime Green Counters.  And, check out the stools.
