Weekend Sleep-In: Color of the Year edition

Did you know that the Color of 2010 was turquoise? Yep...according to Pantone, it was! 
Have you noticed all the turquoise available this year?


Pantone's prediction for 2011? 

Honeysuckle!
Here's what Pantone has to say about this vibrant reddish hue:

"While the 2010 color of the year, PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise, served as an escape for many, Honeysuckle emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. A dynamic reddish pink, Honeysuckle is encouraging and uplifting. It elevates our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence, courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges that have become part of everyday life."

(one question---did anyone else think "honeysuckle" would be a whitish yellow?)
