If you are in the art or design world, you know Pantone. The color swatches that are used to color match for fabrics, paints, printing, packaging, etc. But did you know Pantone comes out with a Color of the Year each year?
For the past decade, Pantone's Color of the Year declarations have influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries including fashion, home and industrial design. Last years color was Turquoise. Can you remember where you saw turquoise this past year? It was definitely in the wedding industry.
This years color is named Honeysuckle and is a reddish pink tone. I think it's a stunning shade of pink and would be perfect for weddings. It goes well with black, charcoal, navy or grey tones. Also perfect with green shades, as with flowers. Flowers in this tone include rose, hydrangea, dahlia, peony, gerbera and anemone. A vivacious color, perfect for a wedding that is uplifting and exciting.
Watch for more of this color through out the year, in fashion and home decor. Read more about Pantone's Color of the Year for 2011 at:
