Honeysuckle - Pantone Color of the Year 2011
Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new year!
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.
How can we incorporate this energetic hue you may ask? Here is how -
Honeysuckle always works with the standard basics of black, navy, charcoal or light to mid gray. But using complementary bronze or warm browns adds a new sophistication to the combination that showcases the energy of Honeysuckle. You can also dial up the contrast by using warm whites and soft creams. The "relief" of these softer hues on the eye will highlight those specific areas where you incorporate Honeysuckle and create a true focal point.
With the new year already of to a vibrant start, I look forward to what this year has in store!
I would love to hear what exciting new ventures (or colors) are on the horizon for you as you kick off this new year!
