Pantone Color of the Year 2011
It’s official, Pantone Color Institute® has announced the new color of the year. Out with last year’s calm and cool Turquoise (my personal fav) and in with the invigorating Honeysuckle. It’s an uplifting color that elevates the psyche to manage the challenges of everyday life.
“In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going-perfect to ward off the blues,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Panone Color™.” Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother color re, the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum.”
The runway filled with a version of this color in women’s apparel, accessories and cosmetics. Ladies, this color can be partnered with navy, black, white, charcoal or shades of grey. It will also be seen in Menswear items such as ties, shirts and sportswear. Honeysuckle is guaranteed to produce a healthy glow when worn by both men and women. It’s a striking, eye-catching hue that works well for day and night.
Home Collection features patterned pillows, bedspreads and tabletop which will add a effervescent punch of color to interior spaces. Looking for an inexpensive way to perk up your home? Paint a wall in Honeysuckle for a dynamic burst of energy.
