The Color Association : Founded in 1915, The Color Association of The United States creates and delivers global color intelligence across industries. A membership based organization headquartered in New York City, the Color Association serves as premier forecast agent, specialized educator, and trusted advisor to color professionals whose responsibility is to ensure marketplace success for their color decisions in the realm of brands, product and service, and spatial environments. Their mission is to capture and deliver color value to businesses and educators and empower color conscious decisions. With a long history of success The Color Association remains a leading establishment in the field of color. In the early half of the 20th century, The Association's primary purpose was to support textile manufacturers in creating market-ready products for the ready-to-wear industry. Back then the Association's committees included hat, glove, and hosiery manufacturers- the trendsetters of the day. Today, they continue to rely on carefully selected thought leaders in the areas of fashion, accessories, product, and interior design to work with them on their current lineup of Women's, Men's, Youth, and Interiors/Environmental forecasts. This combination of cutting-edge trend insight and realistic market knowledge is invaluable in keeping their forecasts relevant for designers, marketers, and product developers.

Color Guides : According to ColorGuides.net, "How then can you identify which colors are hot and which are not? One thing you can do is pay better attention to your surroundings. Anything that's new is probably incorporating the latest color trends – that new building going up downtown, a neighbor's kitchen, new car models, most anything being advertised in a magazine, and especially clothing. If you're noticing the same shades of color or a similar color direction, meaning colors are warmer or cooler, lighter or darker, clearer or greyer, etc. chances are you've stumbled upon a color trend."
