Example
Colour trends go in cycles. There have been periods when colour was banished from our homes and wardrobes, as was the case in the minimalist 1990s. For years, however, colour has reasserted itself in our homes, although it’s hard to know why. Iridescent and natural colours, in particular all permutations of green, are popular now – a reflection, maybe, of our concern for sustainability. Green is often cited as everyone’s favourite colour after blue. But what triggered the rediscovery of bright colours? In fashion, maybe our fascination with the red-carpet dress, with A-listers wearing eye-catching and iridescent outfits, has given flamboyant colours a new-found cachet.
