| Reading a press release about "Color Trends for 2010" made me think about how color in fashion evolved. The palettes you can see below give an indication of trends in color from the 16th century to the present time. Below a 16th century Italian palette |

|
| A 17 th century palette of the French painter Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665). Many writers contrasted Poussin's style to that of Rubens, saying that while Poussin's stress was on drawing, that of Rubens was on bright color!!! |
|
|
| In the end of the 19th century Symbolists like Puvis de Chavannes preferred more subtle colors, in turn launching a new trend of pastel colors in reaction to the dominant fashion of the second half of tthe 19th century. |

|
| Below a color palette of the 30's. This one is Picasso's. |
|
|
| Inspired by industrial architecture, this 2009 palette veers toward a mix of modernity and tradition. |

I heard an awful romour last year about the rise of Salmon [you know that near peach colour] from a friend of my in industry. I dismissed it as nonsense only to go to a dinner party at one of those posh mid-town flat a few weeks ago to see it paired with a tealish/turquoise colour. Mad yes, I see that but get this...IT worked. It was all anyone could talk about and now I look at my James white walls and despair.
So thank you for the insight.
Sincerely,
Simone.
