2010 Color of the year

I am giddy with excitement today!Ā  Pantone, the global authority on color, announced that 2010’s color of the year is… drum roll please… TURQUOISE!Ā  Can we say YIPPEE!!!???Ā  As I told you previously, my new fav color combo is turquoise & tangerine.Ā  I love, love, love the color turquoise.Ā  I can remember traveling to Santa Fe with my parents as a child & my must have souvenir was always a piece of turquoise jewelry.Ā  The color just makes me happy!Ā  Pantone describes the color as inviting & luminous.Ā  I must say that I undoubtedly agree.

TurquoiseĀ had a dominant prescenceĀ at the Fall 2009 International Home Furnishings Market.Ā  So, this announcement is really no surprise to me.Ā  In fact, I think I really would have been more shocked if they hadn’t chosen turquoise as the color of the year for 2010. Ā Here’s a look at a compilation of some of my favorite uses of turquoise in both home interiors and fashion.
