Turquoise Color of the Year


Dum dum du-num!!

After a grueling fight for the top, Pantone 15-5519 Turquoise was crowned Color of the Year by Pantone Color Institue. Having to battle with over 100 Pantone colors with dark secrets and light humility, Turquoise graced the stage with an relaxing yet confident walk.

When asked the judge, Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, "Why Turquoise?" She replied, "It's believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that turquoise represents an escape to many-taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy."

I know one person who is living a fantasy now, and that's Turquoise, after getting such an honorary mention.
