Maison & Objet - Fall 2007:  Colors

The colors for the Fashion home this year are quite a surprise, on the one hand, and not so surprising on the other.  Usually, there is a single palette of colors, tones, which dominate a season.  This year, producers propose soft and hard, black and white, pastel and primary...  the propose everything.  Black and white (together, not either or) remains strong.  In fact, the combination might just be here to stay.  The berry family, starting with soft pink and moving to mauve and deeper cranberry are every present, as are the greens from pale green, to lime, chartreuse, and kelly.  The brown/grey family is represented by chocolate and putty.  The blues are baby blue, cornflower, aquamarine, royal blue, and well...just plain blue.  Bright yellow, primary red, and light grey also make appearances.  And of course the silver and gold accents aren't missing.
