Interior designers, artists and fine arts scholars have long believed that color can dramatically affect our moods. That’s why each year the powerhouses of the design industry observe art, fashion, films, environment and cultural influences from around the world to select their “Color of The Year.” These color selections are universally celebrated and routinely influence design decisions across multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings, product packaging and industrial design. But what do these color selections really mean, and how can we use them to pave the way for the year ahead? Read on as Garden State Tile explores the 2020 Colors of The Year!
