STYLE : DESIGN : BLAZING COLOR

Outdoor furniture and accessories are swimming in color, continuing the color-drenched trend making a splash in fashion, cosmetics and home furnishings.

In this case, sunflower yellow seems to be the season’s most popular shade, popping up on everything you might need to fill a picnic hamper: plates, cups, pitchers, napkins, even candleholders. Hot pink and electric chartreuse right out of the ‘60s also brighten chairs and tables, ice chests and thermoses.

Other colors with fresh appeal include Kool-Aid red and orange, lime green and teal blue, used separately or together, in Matisse-inspired designs.
