What's Happening: On Air

HGTV

Elizabeth Miller of Karastan was interviewed at ABC Carpet in New York, NY for a special presentation on HGTV called Color Czars.

Aired: May 2005

Color Czars Today's decorating is all about color and this one-hour special takes us into the hidden world of the "color czars," the people who apply psychology and science to set the palette for the products that define our homes and color our lives. Follow an expert colorist as he picks out the most popular colors in home decor, watch as a top designer makes over three rooms with bold red, refreshing green and a very hot pink, and learn how new colors are created for everything from the paints on our walls to the carpets at our feet!

Elizabeth Miller, senior vice president of style and design for Karastan Rugs, explains how new colors are used in designing fine carpets and rugs. Rugs can take up to two years to produce, so she needs to know what colors will be popular far in advance. Color is the natural way to give the new customer a classic product in a fresh way so it doesn't look like something their grandmother would have.
