According to Benjamin Moore, GREEN is the color of the year for 2010, along with neutrals.

Some sources say gray, oatmeal and stone will be the colors of choice, with citron, orange and purple as accents.

I am leaning towards enjoying the calmness of the gray, oatmeal and stone palette. Here are a few other examples.

David Schaffner just sent me a link to your blog, i'm; so glad! You're right, this is an awful turquoise, flat, empty, vapid. I do like a turquoise blue made by Rembrandt, though, especially when it's dirtied rather than used straight from the tube (well, like all paint).
