Bold And Beautiful: Pantone Predicts Official Color Of 2011


The Pantone Color Institute, who is responsible for color crazes in the fashion and home interior industries, has announced the hot color for 2011: a reddish-pink hue named "Honeysuckle."

Whereas 2010's color, turquoise, was meant to have a calming effect due to the economic stress of that year, Honeysuckle will lift spirits and get everyone out of the slump we've been in!

Pantone executive director Leatrice Eiseman claims the color "says we need to be hopeful and think of things that satisfy as many senses as we can." Indeed, its namesake flower is visually stimulating, smells wonderful, and contains a sweet nectar that many find to be a tiny treat in the summertime.

The color is already gaining popularity among designers, showing up in the collections of Marc Jacobs, Monique Lhullier, Christian Dior, and Christian Louboutin.
