So a few weeks ago, Pantone announced that Honeysuckle was their Colour of the Year:
Quite a departure from last year's very popular Turquoise
Personally, I lean towards the turquoise, but I have to say I am loving the Honesuckle; it's a gorgeous shade of pink, not to 'princess', not too 'hot', no flourescent undertones; I think it's lovely. Clearly, I am not alone, because Honeysuckle is popping up everywhere:
In home decor:
OMG a Honeysuckle kitchen! Can you imagine? How decadent!
And I really love how people aren't quite ready to say goodbye to Turquoise so they are combining the two:
Ranunculus have quickly become one of my favourite flowers; they are not easy to find here so I may try planting some bulbs this summer, aren't they gorgeous in all their honeysuckle glory?
How about a little Honeysuckle treat?
Makeup?
This OPI shade has been a long-time favourite in this household. Who wouldn't want to walk around with a fresh coat of Party in my Cabana on your freshly polished toes?
And how about some Honeysuckle Etsy goodness?
love love love this simple ring
more simple jewelery that I love!
how fun and unexpected would these be for a wedding party?
How about some wool?
such a gorgeous colour combo!
I'll close with this simple, modern and serene room with just the right touch of Honeysuckle:
What do you think of Honeysuckle?
It's a happy colour, love to have a bedroom with this on one wall!

I agree...a very happy colour, but given the option I'm still siding with tourqoise..that one makes me smile : )

I'm leaning toward honeysuckle....esp. the OPI& yummy stuff to eat; turquoise's a bit much for food (my late grandmother used to tint bread for finger sandwishes, in a god-awful turq..color!)

Such a pretty colour, if you would have asked me what colour this was by the name alone I would have chosen something yellow I'm embarrassed to say...
