2011 Color Forecast- Part One

Have you been wanting to update your home decor? Do you have any rooms in need of a fresh paint color? Check this out. Not too long ago, Sherwin-Williams came out with their 2011 color forecast. They have divided the up and coming colors into four different color collections. Over the next few days we'll take a look at what are the colors that will shape and define home decor in the upcoming year. Today we will take a look at their first collection: Purely Refined. 
Purely Refined

Elegant, Tailored, Understated

True luxury doesn't shout its presence with glitz, glamour and bling. It whispers, revealing its pedigree through clean, classic lines, exquisite tailoring and handcrafted heirloom quality. Pared down is the new upscale, and its color palette demonstrates similar restraint, filled with understated neutrals, yet with nuances and undertones that interact in intriguing ways. Layering organic textures and subtle detailing add to the natural elegance of the timeless look.
