The almanac doesn't mind going out on a limb on trends other than weather. Cool 90s colors are out, it tells us. Warm colors, such as pinks, oranges and reds, are in. Lilacs and plums, perhaps mixed with browns, are popular. Women will stop wearing thick black platform sandals.
Porches are in, and Roman and Greek columns are out, the almanac says.
Formal living rooms are out, and great rooms are in. Platinum or silver accents in place settings are in, and gold accents are out. I don't know why it's funny to me, but it is. Copyright 2001 Belo Interactive Inc., All Rights Reserved.
