            <title>Spring 2013 Colour Report</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ It&rsquo;s hard to believe we&rsquo;re looking into 2013 already, but whether or not we&rsquo;re ready, it&rsquo;s just around the corner. With the New Year comes new trends: fashion, d&eacute;cor, you name it. Colour is a big factor in many of these trends, and every year Pantone comes out with a list of colours on trend. The Spring 2013 Fashion Colour Report was just announced, and we think it&rsquo;ll be a great palette for home d&eacute;cor as well.
