Color of the Year for 2011

Pantone says Honeysuckle Pink is replacing last year's turquoise for the Color of the Year.

"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.”

This vibrant, energetic hue is the perfect color for spring and summer. It's an eye-catching color that will liven up any space. Add this flair with Honeysuckle patterned pillows, bedspreads, small appliances and tabletop accessories. Paint a wall in Honeysuckle for a dynamic burst of energy in the family room, kitchen or hallway.

There are many ways to add this bold, positive color into your home. It's the perfect color to liven up any room. I hope these pictures will inspire you to add some Honeysuckle into your home.
