The new year is looking brighter in at least one respect. Pantone announce that its color of the year for 2011 is an intense pink it calls “honeysuckle”.
Pantone predicts that we’re about to see a lot of this color, appearing on everything from pillows, water bottles, nail polish, sofas and appliances. These sherbety shade of pink with a hint of red and orange zest honeysuckle is seen as pick-me up at a time when many people have had their fill of misfortune. There’s a retro aspect to it that’s going to be very popular.
