Color of 2011: Honeysuckle – Is it for you?

If 2010 had a calming Turquoise, then 2011 is ready to spring an exciting surprise with the flamboyant Honeysuckle, the Color of 2011. Honeysuckle is an intense reddish-pink that’s simply bursting with energy, verve and vigor – exactly the color we need to uplift our spirit and bravely carry us through 2011.

According to Leatrice Eisman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, the company that sets the color standards for the fashion and home industries, the bright red-pink Honeysuckle draws its positive characteristics from its powerful bond with its mother color – red – the most physical viscerally alive hue in the spectrum.

It’s about time we make bold and confident statements with the strikingly festive Honeysuckle. It’s alluring and engaging. It’s a potent color that gets the adrenaline pumping – “ a brave new color, for a brave new world”, to quote Leatrice Eisman.

As a fashion color, Honeysuckle can produce a refreshingly healthy glow when worn by both men and women. It’s a vivid, eye-catching shade that works perfectly well for day and night in women’s apparel, accessories, cosmetics or men’s shirts, ties and sportswear.
