At the exhibition there was the opportunity to visit a number of talks being taken by a number of professionals exhibiting at the event. The talk I attended was about the up and coming colour trends, these being separated into four colour charts. These categories being, Shanty, Ember, Tender and Bleep.
The talk was taken by a representative from
Global Colour Research Mix Publications, and the four categories where explained with what each one included, examples of the colours being used within interior design and products. Also how the EU and America adapted and changed the shade tones for each chart to fit in with their societies.
The first category, Shanty, consisted mostly of pale shades of red, blue and grey.

Ember, the second colour chart, this consisted of a range of rich autumn, rustic colours, browns, golds, reds and blues.

Tender, the third, is where things get pretty, delicate colour shades of blues, greys, pinks and browns.

The final being the biggest and by far the brightest, Bleep. This holds the colours that really capture our minds attention, technology inspired bright primary colours.

From attending this talk it has helped me with my future work, how I think about colours and the grouping of them. With this knowledge I will now be able to put this into my future presentation work.
