April 6, 2005—INVISTA, the manufacturer of Antron carpet fiber, has announced that its 2005 Color Point of View (POV) booklet is now available.
The third issue of the Color POV booklet explores five color trend indicators and five emerging trends, the company says. Trend indicators are areas that have been influencing color and design for a long time and will continue to be trend indicators. Emerging trends are areas affecting color and design that might not have been thought about in the past. Given time, they too could become trend indicators.
The trend indicators are fashion, technology, entertainment, sustainability and socio-economic. The emerging trends are globalization, indulgence, bioengineering, generations and spirituality.
Each category has inspired a palette or family of colors that works together. The colors can be used in carpet, as well as other interior products and clothing. Each of the 50 new colors is codified to the Pantone color specifier for Architectures and Interiors.
The online Color Point of View tool has easy-to-follow instructions to choose primary, secondary, and accent colors to help discover combinations that fit a user’s personal tastes, the company says. Visitors may also order a free copy of the 2005 Color Point of View on the website.
