In our Street Signs section, we choose images from cities, neighborhoods and hops around the world that uncover burgeoning cultural or retail trends. In addition to this pattern recognition, we offer a bit of commentary to help bring it all together. This week’s is entitled Test Patterns.

 

Tune in to living color. It is back in a bold way, whether looking at home goods from Europe, personal care items, designers who have jumped the pond to the US market, or current must-haves across categories this Spring. Big, hyper, near-neon hues are the cry. Forget the easy-eyed pastels – the crèmes, butters, custards, khakis, mosses and sea-foams – that once signaled sophistication. Even iconic Kitchen-Aid mixers are headed our way in tones once unimaginable. The story now is all about expression, and nothing signals mood better than c-o-l-o-r.
