Colour Your Worlde

Pantone wants us to think pink in 2011. They released their signature color for nest year - PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle.

Color palettes are available to use in your design on their website.

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.

While the 2010 color of the year, PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise, served as an escape for many, Honeysuckle emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. A dynamic reddish pink, Honeysuckle is encouraging and uplifting. It elevates our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence, courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges that have become part of everyday life.

Color consistency is key; in design, when building brand recognition, in conveying your message, for graphic output...the list goes on and on. The Pantone system is the recognized industry standard of color matching. Having that language of color translated and organized has be come an invaluable resource to a number of businesses, including shops like ourselves who deal in accurate color representation every day.

This video gives a behind the scenes look at the Pantone process. The video was made by Base in conjunction with the release of The Plus Series, the next generation of the classic Pantone Matching System. The Plus series added 566 new colors to their matching system, a total of 5,024 in their library.

There are many products on the market inspired by Pantone's color matching system. These items would make a color perfect addition to your home, as a fashion accessory, or gift for any designer or color fanatic.
