black breath color deep designers nuance relax relaxation seasons several spring taken time
Designers have taken a deep breath for Spring 2006. After several seasons of 'color! color! color!,' it's time to relax a little.

technology air color
Many feel compelled to be connected around the clock because we are afraid we'll miss something important. There is a growing movement to step out and create 'quiet zones' to disconnect from technology and unwind, giving ourselves time to stop and be still. Color choices follow the same minimalistic, 'en plein air' theme, taking a cue from nature rather than being reinvented or mechanically manipulated.
