Auto Inspired

Do you go to your local car show? Do you think of it as a place to gain decorating ideas? 
For the first time, Dupont released their color findings for the Global auto market as a whole. The top selling colors across the planet?
Silver – 25 percent

Black – 23 percent

White – 16 percent

Gray – 13 percent

Blue – 9 percent

Red – 8 percent

Brown/Beige – 4 percent

Automotive design and color can offer many hints of what's to come in fashion and interiors, too. Especially look at the color, the finishes, and the details in hardware. At most car shows you'll find lots and lots of black white, but that just makes the pops of color stand out even more.  So keep your eyes open for the latest in home decorating trends in the unlikeliest of places.
