After reviewing several sources, I've determined that the two hot new decorating paint colors for 2009 are purple and gray - used together or separately.
The purples are deep and rich and range from dark wines to the dark purple of royalty. Grays are the new neutral of choice and are influencing other colors - such as blue and green - by "graying" them down.
Here's the best article I found on the colors for 2009 with a special focus on purple and gray. Now, you'll be ready to enter 2009 in colorful style.

I like grey very much as it can give simple but classic look. The snap is excellent. Its so clear.
Thanks.
