I've personally noticed here at Revival Fabrics there has been an upswing in interest of purple themed vintage fabrics.
Kim Kight at True Up tells me that fashion and fabric color trends for this year: "I'm seeing lots of pur
ple and fuchsia. I think navy, black, and silvery gray are back in and brown is on the decline as the go-to neutral. I'm also seeing lots of mustard, avocado green, and orange ... the classic 70s kitchen colors. I'm slightly horrified to see the neon paint-splatter phase of the 80s come back in style, though I do get good nostalgic feeling from some retro 80s motifs and color combinations, if they're done right."

As noted, Michael Kors used neon green for his Fall collection.
Fashion Trendsetters sees 2009 fabric color trends in the metal gray family along with cement, slate, and interestingly recycled paper color, and lastly white accents.

I didn't realize that 80s-style neon splatter was making a comeback. It's one I don't think I'll contribute to. But purple and gray do sound lovely. :)
I agree with you there, I won't be sporting neon splatter clothing either anytime soon. This too shall pass..... :o)
Love the retro fabrics ... have a fondness for Henry Alexander ... retro colors are hot right now and so are the patterns!
Henry Alexander fabrics are such great quality, I'm also a huge fan. You can always count on artistic designs from Alexander prints, many you can actually use for framed artwork to hang on the wall.
