2007The top ColorWall color for 2007 is a regal purple that is very deep in tone, and mixes well with silver, black, and white for a very contrasting combination.

This will be a very bold color to use in the up coming year.

2008The top ColorWall Color for 2008 is a pistachio color, that is very light and clean. Can be used for either an accent color or the main focus of the palette. Pairs well with brown, grey, and white. Using as an accent with light blue and

dark grey, creates a smooth finished look.

2009The top ColorWall Color for 2009 is a pink peony color that is very bright and bold. When you think of pink, you think of this color. Very close to being a

bubblegum pink, but with more of a deep cleaner look. This color looks good on practically anything.

2010The top ColorWall Color for 2010 is a teal color. This sleek color goes well with neutrals for a very summer beached look. Mix with metallics or leather to con-

trast this color for a fresh new fashion statement.

2011The top ColorWall Color for 2011 is a cranberry shade with much use across areas and seasons. You can find this versatile color in both fashion and home, with uses in Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter. We can see why this color is so popular – the tonal qualities make it excellent to mix with different neutrals as

well as pop colors such as a bright blue or purple.
