The housewares industry knows the importance of color. Research indicates that product color evokes a strong emotional response from consumers and is a key factor in more than 60% of purchases. Pantone ColorWatch, a special exhibit designed by Pantone, Inc., focuses on eight palettes representing the strongest home furnishings trends for 2010.
