Swatch 10GG51/125 (Cool Jade)

Colour trends for 2009

Reading the Dulux Trade ‘Trade Xpress’ newsletter this week their is an interesting article about the paint colour trends for 2009. The trends are soft and subtle.

Trade Xpress said:

For 2009, the team has predicted a move towards colours that are soft and subtle, but which still have very strong links to the built environment, our natural landscape and natural craft materials. The influence of green can clearly be seen, and as colour of the year 2009 right quote the consultants have selected a shade of cool jade: 10GG51/125.
