Pantone Color Of 2011 Is Honeysuckle Pink

Pantone just revealed their Color of The Year for 2011 -- Honeysuckle Pink.

Per their press release:

"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."

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, goes on to describe why they chose such a vibrant, feminine color, suggesting it be used for everything from interior design and clothing to weddings and gift cards.
