Color trends are something that people who follow fashion or interior design tend to keep abreast. Trends come and go with seasons but there is always a sense of flow that moves us from one season to another.
Personally, I always look forward to seeing the new color palettes, textures and ideas which spring forth each season, so I bring to you the 2009 palette presentation by Pantone:

This palette consists of unbleached white, tender greens, clouded coral, toasty warm tans and cool grays punctuated by velvety red rose tones. This color palette implies non contrived, effectual, a lack of excess and natural fibers.
