Tempe Star SW 6229
“I am about to move into a new home.. YEAH!! I have always dreamed of having my bedroom in a romantic PURPLE. Of course the entire room wouldn’t be purple but my comforter would set the tone for the room. Recently my love and I were looking and decided on 4 colors for our new home. HE decided that the walls in the bedroom can be TEMPE STAR. While I totally agree this color must go on a wall in our home, He crushed my dream of PURPLE in my bedroom or did he??? Help!! I totally need bedroom ideas for both of us to be happy.”

This Year’s Hot Hues
Leaders of the color industry advisory groups have spoken and yellow and purple are said to be the hot colors for 2009 in both fashion and home furnishings.
Pantone, a provider of professional color standards for the design industries, has selected “mimosa” (Pantone 14-0848) as their color for the year. They report that “in a time of economic uncertainty and political change, optimism is paramount and no other color expresses hope and reassurance more than yellow.” The Color Marketing Group (CMG) has chosen colors influenced by both the economy and our outlook on the future. CMG, the leading international non-profit association of color design professionals, shares that purple is not a fad, but “an entrenched trend, strongly influenced by the election. (After all, red plus blue equals purple.)”
