Late last week Pantone announced the 2011 Color of The Year.

 They have picked: Honeysuckle   – a bright optimistic pink

 

As you can imagine. I am kind of stoked. You know, I am all about spreading the gospel of pink

Pantone chose the “dynamic reddish pink” because it “emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor… 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…. In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother color red, the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to ward off the blues.”

 Amen, Pantone.
