Olive green is soooo '70s...

It's funny how the color of your turtleneck or of those Formica countertops at home can be such clues to time and place. Orange is groovy 60s; black is oh so Euro. So, , what will be the trendy colors for 1999?

*Cars: Blue and silver will oust tired forest green.

*Appliances: Sleek, brushed metallics

*Clothes: Futuristic silver and gray

*Housewares: Muted blues, greens, and lavenders.
