I don’t know about you, but I’m craving some serious color this winter! I want oranges, pinks, purple, lush greens – the brighter, the better. I’m loving these photos from Indian markets of fabric and pigments. Pair your bright color beads with neutrals in wood, metal, smokey quartz, and labadorite – think grey and browns accented by a pop of color. THE color for spring? Purple is still reigning but in the softer shades of lavender for this season.

January 10, 2009 at 10:00 pmThanks for the information. As a designer, whether it’s handbags, clothing, jewelry or accessories, we need to know what customers will be wanting months ahead of time, in order to find the correct vendors, prints, items, etc to be ready. This makes the color palette info very important to all of us! Teri Twitter: Teri_B http://sandtcreations.etsy.com

Thanks for posting the color forecast. It’s always helped me pick beads for matching to next season’s wardrobe.
