Color of the Year: 2011

This is news to me! I didn't know there was an official fashion "Color of the Year", but apparently there is. This year it's..........

Honeysuckle!

If you're like me you thought as you read that, "Yay!...What's honeysuckle?" Pictures of honey-colored objects were running through my head. I took a crash course in Honeysuckle 101 with Google as my professor. The best article I found with examples of Honeysuckle shows it being used in everything from clothing to drapes, dishes to picture frames. You can see those pictures HERE, along with close-ups of Honeysuckle paint and fabric swatches.

If you're still like me your next thought was, "If there's a 'Color of the Year' for 2011 I wonder what other 'Colors of the Year' I have missed!" To see if you have been in vogue for the last decade, check out this ARTICLE that lists the fashion "Color of the Year" going back to 2000.

(I'm pleased to report I hit a couple of those...by accident, but hey, that counts!)
