This spring, look for the color to show up in clothing! When teal was the color of the year, the swimwear dept. . Was beautiful! Dress Barn had a very nice presentation of clothing in the teal. (A fav color of mine, btw).
Yes, they set the color and as other posters point out, it influences all aspects of consumerism. Doesn't mean that we have to go with it. But you will see the influence in the stores, shelter magazine articles, etc.
Personally, I like purples but they are not my favs. Give me greens and teals any day!
