Every year as a designer, I wait with eager anticipation for Benjamin Moore’s Color Pulse–color forecast.  I love knowing what colors and design elements will be popular over the next year.  The color professionals at Benjamin Moore spend a lot of time and effort pulling together the elements of their forecast and it is always so interesting to watch for their predictions to become reality.  Traveling to all areas of the world, they pay very close attention to the social, cultural and economic influences in those areas and in ours.  This spring and throughout the year 2011, their color predictions are based on 4 main themes, that of Farm, Order, Escape and Tribe.
