Hello ~
Honeysuckle Pink!
A happy new color has been named the Pantone Color of 2011 - Honeysuckle Pink.
Isn't it absolutely beautiful? I am so excited as this is my all-time favorite color!
Via Pantone:
A Color for All Seasons
Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you, and carry you through the year. It is a color for every day - with nothing "everyday" about it.
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 by 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 is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going - perfect to ward off the blues," explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother color, red - the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum."
Eiseman continues, "The intensity of this festive reddish pink allures and engages. In fact, this color, not the sweet fragrance of the flower blossoms for which it was named, is what attracts hummingbirds to nectar. Honeysuckle may also bring a wave of nostalgia for its associated delicious scent reminiscent of the carefree days of spring and summer."
Home Interiors
Add a lively flair to interior spaces with Honeysuckle patterned pillows, bedspreads, small appliances, and tabletop accessories. Looking for an inexpensive way to perk up your home? Paint a wall in Honeysuckle for a dynamic burst of energy in the family room, kitchen, or hallway.
Honeysuckle is upbeat and dynamic when used on large areas like the entry area of a house or an apartment. It is an appetite and conversation stimulant when used on the dining room walls. In the kitchen, it adds a fun touch on the table in placemats and other linens (patterned or solid), colored glassware, candles and small appliances. Honeysuckle is a great color to cover up shabby kitchen cabinets or, if that's too much of a color statement for you, try repainting knobs and drawer pulls. But be warned - once you try this arresting shade, it can become addictive.
