2011 will be a Honeysuckle of a year according to Pantone
By Elaine Levins
"...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." ~ Pantone
I like the color, but then again I'm a girl, so I think I'm gender required to like pink. I'm not sure it will help anyone face the world and troubles with verve and vigor, but it does provide for an upbeat, energetic and perhaps encouraging color palette.
Get ready for lots of honeysuckle pink (PMS 18-2120)
Pantone is usually good at predicting color trends...or do they inspire them with their predictions? I guess we'll never know. It's sort of a Schrödinger's cat kind of thing - where the act of measurement or in this case the prediction of the year's "hot color" affects the outcome. Fortunately in Pantone's color entanglement trend there's no risk of a dead cat and you don't have to suffer a headache trying to think about the absurdity - all you have to do is decide if you like pink this year.
