Color Focus: Black Forest

Just on the edge of black and riding the heels of a forest green, Black Forest is a new rich color seen in high end fashion, home and elite package design. Depending on the finish, leather or matte, silk or even feathers, Black Forest is a serious color that is really a new neutral in disguise. I would love to see this color on the walls of a new hip hotel bar, on a Parsons table or a puffy North Face jacket.
