Pantone colour of the year
With 2010 on the horizon, Pantone have again awarded their annual colour of the year. This years winner, Turquoise. A color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky.
Read on for annual winners from years gone by.
2009, Mimosa. The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance.
2008, Blue Iris. A mix of blue and purple that suggests dependability and magic.
2007, Chili Pepper. Chosen for its pizazz and sophistication and its hint of ethnic taste.
2006, Sand Dollar. A neutral color that expresses concern about the economy.
2005, Blue Turquoise. Another reversal to a calming shade
2004, Tigerlily. Acknowledges the hipness of orange, with a touch of exoticism.
2003, Aqua Sky. A cool blue meant to restore hope and serenity.
2002, True Red. Recognizes the impact of 9/11 with a patriotic hue.
2001, Fuchsia Rose. A reversal from the pervious year, more exciting, more feminine and sexy.
2000, Cerulean Blue. Chosen for the millennium for its calming zen state of mind.
What’s your vote for next year?
No love for green so far, perhaps a nice emerald for a healthy and prosperous year?
Wow! I wasn’t aware that they were giving out awards for colors, so does this mean I should be using Turquoise to be with the “IN” crowd? :)
Kiren,
It totally does. I didn’t realise but I haven’t been cool since 2002!
I’m overhauling my logo and blog to replace all the red with Turquoise A.S.A.P.
