◼◻ 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?
