ILSE JACOBSEN with other patterns and stripes . Designers from the more avant-garde brands experiment with disharmonious colour combinations with saturated reds and greens as the most dominating complimentary colours , says the trend expert . The ethnic inspiration is updated with a design overhaul making the authentic patterns more modern and graphic . - The commercial brands find inspiration in a rustic , romantic and almost ascetic style . Nature as fields and the sky inspires to tones of brown , green , petrol and blue colours and a range of delicate berry tones with bordeaux as the deepest colour of them all , says Anja Bisgaard Gaede .
Brights & Mellow The use of bright and strong colours combined with down-toned colours make for another essential and very commercial colour trend , which features dusty pastels mixed with bright colours such as dark turquoise or red .
- We have named the trend Brights & Mellow . A down-toned red purple colour range with new tones of rose , mauve , pink and dusty violets dominate this trend along with a dusty yellow that contrasts the tone-on-tone colour symphony , says Anja Bisgaard Gaede , who stresses that it ’ s a rather commercial way to work with colour combinations . - When strong colours are combined with toned down colours the look is fresh but not too radical , Bisgaard Gaede explains .
