Pantone 2011 Color of the Year

Last week Pantone announced the 2011 Color of the Year - Pantone 18-2120 Honeysuckle.  I love it!  Pantone's Color of the Year declarations truly influence product development in multiple industries - including wedding invitations!
According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®, "...we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to ward off the blues. 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.”

Sounds wonderful to me!

Would love to create a wedding suite using this color! Hopefully it will be used this year by one of our brides. Any takers?
