Fashion News: Honeysuckle is the color of 2011!

Jan 31, 2011 by

You know how every year the fashion industry declares a color of the year? Yes? No?

Well if you weren’t aware, every year the fashion industry chooses a color that is designated the it color of the season. In recent years it was purple and gray. Well in December of last year, Pantone, a company that is the global authority on color (bet you didn’t know that even existed) declared honeysuckle the color of 2011.

Now when I first heard this, I envisioned an orange-y color because that’s where my mind went initially. However, when I did further research, I discovered the color named honeysuckle is actually more of a pink-y coral-y color. Don’t you love my technical jargon?

Well without further ado, here is the color of 2011!

Thoughts?

Do you think you will wear this color?

I’d love to hear what you think of the official color of 2011 as determined by Pantone.

    First of all, great post. I love any behind-the-scenes news and this was informative and interesting. Secondly, I’m with you, honeysuckle is a light yellow/orange flower, not pink. Or so I thought. A quick Google image search reveals a pink variety of the flower. But it’s not a bad color; I’m interested to see how this plays out this season.
