I read that a company called Pantone plans to announce today that its color of the year for 2011 is an intense pink it calls "honeysuckle."
The article says, "Pantone predicts that we're about to see a lot of this color, appearing on everything from designer dresses to pillows, water bottles, nail polish, sofas and appliances. A sherbety shade of pink, with a hint of red and orange zest, honeysuckle is seen by designers as a pick-me-up at a time when many people have had their fill of misfortune."
Apparently this year's color is a vivid turquoise, but that wasn't enough enough of a pick-me-up in this down economy. Probably by sometime in 2011 it will be announced that we are indeed in a depression, perhaps the greatest depression, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that honeysuckle pink isn't going to make folks feel much better about that.
