The Pantone Institute will declare the color of the year in early December. But we can't wait and want to look into the future now.
To begin with, see the short video about the interior trends of autumn 2018 to understand what to repel:
And now we will deal with what is "color of the year" and how it is determined.
How defined color of the year
The Pantone Institute analyzes colors from fashion chandomies, trends in social networks and many other information to choose the color of the year. In early December, after the meeting of the Colorists from all over the world, they represent a shade of the year and begin to sell souvenirs with the color of the year (mugs, palettes, notebooks). The first color was chosen on the eve of 2000.
What happens with the color of the year after it is selected
In 2016, the color of the year was at once 2 shades - pink and blue, which really inspiring looks in a pair. In 2017, the color of the year became light green Greenery, and in 2018 - ultraviolet, but neither the one nor the other was particularly popular.

According to observations, in 2018, the design and fashion was an unusually much accurate pink, Millennial Pink, and concrete and gray (from walls to flaxseed textiles) were still dominated in spaces. In this sense, the Ashzonobel aesthetics Center, choosing a warm wood-pink warm-hearted, more came to the point, compared with the Pantone Color Institute. The color of 2019, Akzonobel calls a warm amber color with the name "Spicy Honey", which near the palette from his predecessor. They specifically choose calm colors that perfectly fit into residential interiors, they will not bother to anyone and will not spoil anything. Pantone choose brighter, inspirational and bold colors that are not everyone is ready to actively turn on in their lives. Thus, the color of the new year according to their version can be any color, the presence of which we will not even notice.

What are our predictions?
Considering how Suddenly and firmly settled in our daily pink everyday life, another bright, but forgotten and therefore an unexpected color containing enough light and mood will become popular in 2019. Maybe it will be the shade of yellow? Warm, slightly muted, but not yet beige, able to fall in love with the most different consumer.
There is also a suspicion that in 2019, metal shades will still be popular, but no longer copper as Rose Gold, and darker, black.
In 2017-2018, warm metal shades were warm in the interior fashion, the so-called Rose Gold
Perhaps in the future emphasis shifts on dark metal shades.

Do our predictions come true? We do not impose big hopes. One thing is known one thing - the color of the approaching year we will not miss. To beautifully furnish the room and make a stylish repair, you do not need to know the color of the year, because the decoration is planned for several years ahead and is based on the already tested, proven color combinations and rules. And you can always add an escaping point to the interior: to highlight the accent wall, update textiles in the form of curtains, pillows and plaids, sash the bright carpet in fashionable color. And this small contribution to the residential space will help remember another year. Recalling the time you may remember only his color about this year: "Year 2018 ... what was he? Gray and pink! "
