There’s been a lot of talk about “Honeysuckle”, the color of 2011 chosen by the Pantone Color Institute (the research arm of Pantone Inc., the company that largely sets color standards for the fashion and home industries). Last year it was turquoise, which didn’t surprise many people, but honeysuckle has caught some attention. When I first learned of this new color of the year I had to google it to figure out exactly what a “real” honeysuckle flower looked like, because prior to all this I thought honeysuckle flowers were white.
When I make a piece of jewelry I tend to use colors that appeal to me personally. For instance, I love blues & greens, and, honestly, pink has always been my least-favorite color (sorry pink lovers!!)…. Though I have to admit, honeysuckle has been growing on me. I like that it’s a little more bold than most pinks and it lends itself a bit toward coral. I found that it can be combined with most other colors and even my (gray) Chihuahua, Zoie, looks pretty snazzy in honeysuckle. So with all this in mind, I decided to do what many other bloggers have already done and blog about this color. What is your opinion of honeysuckle?
