Color Trends 2011 - Pantone Honeysuckle

Pantone annouces their color of the year for 2011-- Honeysuckle

PANTONE 18-2120; Wins 2011 COLOR OF THE YEAR! Congratulations Honeysuckle. Reddish Pink sets the tone for color trends 2011. Pantone announced that Honeysuckle is the new Turquoise. Pantone 15-5519-Turquoise, last year's reigning color of 2010, has passed the crown to this year's new leading lady, Honeysuckle.

Now I must admit, when I saw this color was in the pink family I was a little surprised because I have always thought of honesuckle as yellow. After a little research it turns out my expertise is limited to what I have come to know in my region.

Turquoise represented 2010 well with a color that evoked ESCAPE and a way to get away from it all. But move over escape because this stunning Honeysuckle pink is confident and brave. A vivacious tone of reddish pink ready to get noticed and the confidence to pull it off.

Honeysuckle won 2011 color of the year because it is not biased. This beautiful shade of pink looks good on both men and women and works well, day into night.

Feminine but bold. Color trends 2011 reflects the shift we have seen in the political arena as well with women running for president and taking charge of the higher offices.

You will probably see this color throughout design and fashion this year in various shades of the color as designers incorporate it into their goods.

Look for salmon, reddish pinks, and orangy pinks to pop up in clothing and home accessories. Have you noticed Dr. Phil's attire this season? Honeysuckle leans to the feminine side but with a dynamic attitude so it will make a statement but in a calm manner.
