Chalky Pastels

We are starting to see colors in home and in fashion that haven't been seen for a while. Chalky pastels reminiscent of the 1980's were sent down the Spring runways and are popping up in home furnishing accessories. They are soft and easy on the eyes. Matte or gloss, the colors have a natural pigmented feel in contrast to the neon brights that are so popular right now. A little retro and a little earthy, these colors seem fresh and new.
