Swatch Combo 9 - Lipsticks-a-plenty

Here's my token use of 'red as a highlight'. Such a current colour trend! Here I've used it in a bit of a different way though. Instead of with greys etc I've used it in an analogous, discordant (the light purple and the darker reds) scheme.

Swatch Combo 4 - Modern Beesting


This is a trendy one these days... using yellow with grey. In fact any bright colour with grey. I like it. The yellow is deep and slightly dulled which makes it subtle and warm.

Trend Love!

This is a colour trend I really love... using bright, light (almoist fluro but not) pastel-ish colours with really light grey backgrounds. Grey is usually a colour you would think to be really boring, but when using such a subtle but energetic colour with it, it completely changes grey's 'boring factor'. I really love this use of colour... to my eye it's the perfect calming but energetic balance of lighter colours.

Pink = Trendy

Over the past year I have seen a crap load of things designed to the scheme of black , white and light pink. I quite like it myself. I think it's something to do with the fact that black and white together are quite stark and sophisticated, so bringing in lots of light pink is sort of like a funny, playful way of mixing things up. I do think however that people may get sick of this current colour trend in the near future. There's only so long something can go on being trendy until it gets shelved for the next twenty years to await its 'vintage' return.

Freshen Up

The pine and white look for interiors seems to be very common nowadays. I like how here though, just a tiny bit of really intense bright pink has been added in. It brings this current interior trend into its own and gives it a bit more personality and life.
