You rarely find a child that prefers neutrals over color. Kids love color, and the more of it, the better.

Recently, The Trend Curve collaborated with one of the country’s top apparel color-and-trend experts to create a forecast for Fall/Winter 2010 that covers both home and apparel for the younger set. Here are a few highlights from Keeping Up With Kids™ Fall 2010:

• Red and Coral stand out for both boys and girls. Use them alone or as key accents to the season’s darker counterparts.

• Yellow is taking up with neutrals, as Gray and Black become Yellow’s top companions.

• Metallic influences continue to play a role.

• Piecing, patchwork and tiers will be right for girls.

• Cartoon graphics have appeal for both genders.

• Basic stripes and plaids won’t look so basic anymore. Think Preppy—and new combinations.
