JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Dec. 10, 2009) – Colorists for Sherwin-Williams, the largest producer of paint in the U.S., have released their 2010 color forecasts, and industry experts from Sisler Johnston Interior Design agree there will be a resurgence of bright, saturated colors in the coming year.

“The 2010 color forecast draws on nostalgia of the past to create colors for the future,” said Judith Sisler Johnston, president of Sisler Johnston Interior Design and ASID Allied Member.  “Colors appeal to our emotions.  Just a slight change in color can change our feelings and mood.”

The Sherwin-Williams 2010 colors have been divided into four categories:  rooted, simplified, treasured and refreshed.

Rooted:  Deep, rich colors with African and Native American influences define Sherwin-Williams’ Rooted collection.  The colors are rich and earthy with a hint of mystery.  Colors include amber, teal, red and gray.
   
Simplified:  This collection features sophisticated, subtle and versatile colors including silvery whites, sparkling grays and a glowing buttery yellow.  The hues are calm with undertones that shift according to their surroundings.

Treasured:  The Treasured collection features more muted colors than the other collections.  The palette reflects the beauty of natural aging, mellowing and weathering over time.  Look for smoky blue, yellow, green and coral colors.

Refreshed:  The Refreshed collection highlights vibrant floral tones, bright juicy colors and unexpected color combinations.  The colors include yellow-orange, green, coral, yellow, violet and blue

With so many shades of color to choose from, Sisler Johnston recommends consulting with a licensed interior designer before beginning any interior design project, including do-it-yourself endeavors.  It can be a valuable investment to have an expert review the plan and provide recommendations.
