◼◻ pink to make us wink

there's an eagerly awaited 'reveal' in the print 

and design world:

colour of the year from Pantone:

the gods of colour and tone:

so for 2011 expect to see lots of ....

honeysuckle?

really?

for me {and most people} it brings to mind a warm

yellow hue:  the word honey is a clue:

Pantone say it's

'courageous, confident: 

a brave new colour for a brave new world:

let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you

and carry you through the year:

it's a colour for everyday

with nothing everyday about it'

well I'm not averse to a bit of pink:

although a bit of a 1990's throwback:

it lifts the complexion and gives accent to

interiors indeed:

but dear Pantone,

are the economic and climatic worldviews so bad

that you feel you have to distract us so dramatically?
