Berry

While the domestic market tends to use dark purple, which equates to royalty and wealth, or lighter lilac colors, which relate to spirituality, the middle purple colors, like berry, represent creativity and imagination.  This makes sense when considering that trends tend to start in Western Europe and then migrate to the coasts of the USA, filling toward the center over time.  One great example is how sustainability is approached. Building a sustainable future for all necessitates creativity.

Gold 

This color is associated with quality, reputation, and sophistication.  These traits have always been sought after in Western Europe, and examples are easily found from clothing like chenille sweaters to automobiles like Porsche.  Many of Western Europe’s finest brands are found at retail on Rodeo Drive or 5th Avenue.  In terms of flooring, USA’s manufacturers have perfected the machine tufted carpets that are manufactured quickly and in bulk, whereas the Western European manufacturers have perfected machine weaving, a slower process that crates textures and minimalistic aesthetics, but takes a longer time as machines are slower than tufting machines.  In the end, the woven products last longer, and consumers around the world prefer these quality woven carpets.

Taupe

Sometimes referred to as greige, taupe represents balance and relaxation. Color lines in America offer many versions of beige, but in Western Europe many shades of taupe of offered.  Think about the reputation of hard-working Americans who seldom have time to travel, versus the Western Europeans who have three weeks of time each summer to unwind, travel, or just relax with their families.  It is a stark difference, and the colors reflect just that.
