Honeysuckle: Colour of the Year?

As reported on Instyle’s website earlier this month, honeysuckle – the beautiful, eye-catching jewel-tone pink – has been named the colour of the year for 2011 by the Pantone Colour Institute.

Honeysuckle was named the colour of the year as this captivating, beautiful shade is the perfect way to ward off the blues – perfect with the current economic situation.

Several celebrities have already shown just how amazing honeysuckle is as a colour.

Whilst previous colour predictions may not have been very correct (the colour of 2010 was supposed to be turquoise), I can definitely see this trend taking off.
