Color of the Year?
Did you know Pantone (the "world-renowned authority on color and provider of color systems"...not the shampoo Pantene, like I first read it to be...) announces a "Color of the Year"?
The "Color of the Year" is picked by Pantone as...well, to be honest, I'm really not sure what. It's the "in" color, I guess, that we'll be seeing everywhere? Fashion, mostly, is my understanding from reading...or, according to their press release, "Wedding Styles," "Paint," and on a Pantone-sponsored Visa card.
In 2009, the color was Pantone's Mimosa
In 2010, the color was Pantone's Turquoise
In 2011, the color is Pantone's Honeysuckle:
Pantone says it is "Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color for a brave new world."
(Which, if you've ever read the Aldous Huxley novel Brave New World isn't that nice of a promise...)
Apparently in 2010, Turquoise was our color to calm us and allow us to escape from tumultuous things. This color is supposed to give us strength and power.
I'm still baffled by the whole "Color of the Year" concept in general, but what do y'all think? Does 2011 seem like it will be "Honeysuckle"-y to you?

Yeah, the "mimosa" swatch from 2009 was yellow. So, basically, the colors of the year have been yellow, blue, pink.
Who thinks the 2012 color of the year is going to be green? "Jade" or "Grass" or "Chartreuse" or "Mint." I'm going to spend all of 2011 wearing green so that when Pantone makes the color some shade of green, I can call myself a trend setter.
I actually did know the 2010 color of the year but had not heard the 2011 selection. Interesting choice.
No worries though, it is not as big of an impact as you might think
ETA: I actually just received an alert at work about the 2011 selection.
