Color of the Year:
So every year, Pantone comes out with their prediction for "color of the year". Last year's color was turquoise. I remember it well because it is my favorite color. However I realize that I can live to allow room for all kinds of fun colors into my life. I am a huge fan of color, so I'm always excited to see what they come up with.
This year Pantone selected "Honeysuckle".
At first I thought it was going to be a beautiful vibrant yellow shade, but much to my surprise, Pantone's honeysuckle is bright pink! I am sucker for all jewel tones, so I was excited to see another jewel tone make the color of the year.

Since Matt and I have lived together, I've always been afraid to decorate with pink, sometimes feeling that it might be too feminine, however I think that this color could be a powerful accent in a simple color palette. You all know that I love grey & white, and I think that this color would be a great accent.
Great, right? Yes, it's sort of feminine, but when done boldly, it's less feminine and more festive. And as perfectly depicted by the last photo, this color is perfect for a nursery. In the second photo, the pink is a little too pale to be "honeysuckle" but you could easily substitute a brighter pink into that photo.
It looks like I might need to do an inspiration board with a little honeysuckle sometime soon!
What do you guys think of the color of the year? I think I'll be incorporating more of it into my wardrobe this year, than into my house, but I LOVE the color. Great pick Pantone!
What a pretty color! A light jeweltone red is one of my favorite colors to wear, but I never realized it would work so well for interior design. I like the pairing with gray/silver and white.
