oney changes everything: including the colors in a home. Many influences affect color trends: movies, music, world events, politics, and economics. People instinctively crave the color that benefits their emotions. The leading colors after the Twin Towers fell, were blue and brown. Brown reflected that people wanted to be close to the ground to feel safe and blue was for building trust and creating calm. At the same time, Starbucks turned coffee into a high-end experience and made brown a rich elegant color, adding to the brown fad. When the housing market crashed in 2008 gray became very popular. People wanted to feel safer. You probably heard this common phrase “I feel like the ground got pulled out from underneath me.” In Earth layers, rock or granite lies just below the surface. People wanted something stronger than ground and that is why gray was so popular. It gave a sense of stability in an unstable time.
