Inspirations of Color


Spring is almost here and brings new inspiration to designing! As the weather warms and flowers begin to bloom, Pantone's "Color of the Year" becomes more of a reality. Honeysuckle has been named as the "Color of the Year" in fashion and home design.

Honeysuckle is...
"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’s a color for every day – with nothing 'everyday' about it."Pantone

The Top 10 Colors for Spring 2011, including Honeysuckle, were announced in December. These colors will take your design on an "exotic journey" with colors like Regatta, Blue Curacao, Coral Rose and Silver Cloud. It is time to get on board!

Honeysuckle continues its journey through 2011 with the Fall color palette from Pantone (as seen below). This palette is being translated into home fashion by the "designer's brush" and the manner in which they juxtapose vibrant colors with neutrals in their works of art.

Color is a catalyst for inspiration! Spring is rapidly approaching and Fall is around the corner. Seize the opportunity to animate your designs with these new trends now!
