Bold colors are back, according to Anne Krueger, editor of the HGTV.com decorating newsletter. Krueger discusses color trends in her article, “The Color of Things to Come.” Red and orange will continue to be popular, she says, and the popularity of brown is growing.

Other bold colors — cardinal red, carrot orange, egg yolk yellow, Lava lamp green — are also popular. Bold colors like these are in now, but they could be out in a few months. This brings you back to neutral colors and so-called “builder’s white.”

You look at the swatches and there are so many variations of the color green. Your head starts to spin and now you can’t quite remember if it was a green with a touch of blue or a green with a touch of yellow.
