Fall 2009

Fall Forecast By Patricia Call

Reigning Color

Purple-infused navy promises to be big.

Navy is a color of purity, truth, and serenity. This is what people are seeking now in all aspects of their lives. This blue is rich and comforting. Even better, it works extremely well in combination with bright, neon, and earth colors.

Purplish navy also works well with the ongoing strength of white and black in the marketplace.

Look for this color on a wide variety of gift products including linens, apparel, accessories, candles and more.
