Designers and artists alike are buzzing about this decision — a dramatic departure from the 2010 color, Turquoise.

Here’s what Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute had to say about Honeysuckle on the Pantone website:
“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,” Eiseman says. “Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother color red, the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum.”
Designers, take note.
