I think the earthtones are the in colors for paint....
Now for clothing--go for happy!
WARNING WARNING WARNING
A bit off topic, but----one of my back up duties at work is mixing paint.
Many years ago at another job I was being trained by a seasoned gal and she told me when a shopper asked for a particular color to look at what they were wearing (our dept sold towels, bedding, window coverings etc).A large percent of people asked for the color they had on.
Now fast forward to current job, when I'm over at the paint dept I apply this lesson--just for fun---and the oddity still applies; regardless of the paint color selected, more often than not the customer is wearing it.
One of the many interesting findings regarding we humanoids.
And just in case you wanted to know----------in 2008 taupes were the most sold paint colors. But America is getting more daring and we sell a lot of reds and chocolates etc for an entire room not just the accent wall.
