So take a tip from the kitchen design experts at Kitchens.com (http://www.kitchens.com). Whether decorating or redecorating in the next year, consider these five hot (and cool) color trends for 2008:
1. Conscientious Color: Colors return to the earth with nature-inspired tones

"What's most exciting about this year's color trends is their versatility," says Kitchens.com writer Caitlin Grogan. "These trends range from hues imbued with neutral earthy tones to colors that are more vibrant and saturated than ever before."
Grogan also points to the colors' enduring quality. "These colors are not the trends that you'll wish you had avoided ten years down the road," says Grogan. "Used appropriately, whether as wall color or accent notes, these colors will enliven and update a kitchen for the years to come."
