Color of the year

Pantone Inc. is the world-renowned authority on colour and provider of colour systems.  Every year they identify the "color of the year" and for 2011 - the color is Honeysuckle.  


Last year it was turquoise, which I think is kind of blah, but then again I'm not a "blue person".


Now honeysuckle is a hue I could get behind.  I think it's lush and luxe and has a warmth to it that I find soothing. And soothing things are required at this hectic time of year.  When I see this hue I think that it would be good in a bright room, like a breakfast nook with lots of natural light.  Very energetic as well as decadent, in my humble opinion.

According to Pantone   "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.” 


So what do you think of it?  Does it put any wind up your skirt?
