Color Concepts – what’s in for 2021?

According to the fashionistas the colours in style for 2021 are the following;

1. Flame Scarlet

2. Saffron

3. Classic Blue

4. Biscay Green

5. Chive

6. Faded Denim

7. Orange Peel

8. Mosaic Blue

9. Sunlight

10. Coral Pink

11. Cinnamon Stick

12. Grape Compote

How does all this relate to photography, in particular still life? It’s a good question, my guess is for Flame Scarlet, Saffron, Orange Peel, Sunlight and Classic Blue. It looks great on the colour wheel, fresh and Summery. 

When it comes to home decor, apparently the money is on grey and bright yellow. I’m pretty happy with that, I have actually just painted my office in light grey and my living room is currently yellow, so that means it’s back in style.

How does this compare to last year, or the year before…not all that much different, as it turns out. Looking back at an article I wrote in July 2019, back then it was mostly blue and cream, with some yellow thrown in too. But honestly, when it comes to colour, I say go with what works best for you.
