Pantone's Color of the Year

And the award goes to....B L U E.

According to the execs at Pantone, "Blue Iris brings together the dependable aspects of blue, underscored by a strong, soul-searching purple cast. Emotionally, it is anchoring and meditative with a touch of magic.” These color forecasters seems to be pretty right on, they influence fashion, graphics, textiles and design industries. I'm down with blue, especially that pretty Artisan Blue at Banana Republic right now...it's downright gorgeous.
