According to Pantone, which has led the world in color authority for almost 50 years, this energetic hue will be the star of 2011 from fabrics to fashions, makeup and more.
This pretty pink is not only nice to look at, it’s stimulating, due to its red derivative.
Confident and optimistic: what’s not to love about that? Incorporate this flirty, fun shade of summertime, first-kiss-blushing nostalgia into your home inexpensively by picking up throw pillows, office accessories and vintage accents or by painting a wall. You’ll be tickled pink that you did.
