Colors To Watch In 2011 – Part 1
Honeysuckle has been declared the ‘It’ Color for 2011 by the folks at Pantone…
…but I have four off-beat, edgy colors of my own that you’ll want to watch this year. In this post I’m sharing the first two:
Wasabi Green has been making a slow resurgence in the past few years — coming back from the ’60′s and ’70′s when it was called Avocado Green.
{Calico Corners}
With our world becoming more environmentally conscious, the color green is being associated with organic and earth-friendly living. Many of us are going retro as we look back towards a simpler way of life. We’re finding terrific back-in-the-day finds on eBay, Etsy and in thrift stores, where Avocado Wasabi Green is bountiful.
{Family Circle}

Peacock Blue made a strong showing in late 2010 at New York Fashion Week. This gorgeous shade of blue varies in between vivid Turquoise and deep Teal. It definitely makes a bolder color statement as compared to the lighter tints of blue-green.

Peacock Blue also represents an exotic, global aspect of design that is becoming more mainstream as our world becomes ‘smaller.’
{Crown Paints}
{Suzy Hoodless}
Stay tuned for my next post! Part 2 will feature my other two Color picks that you’ll want to watch in 2011!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

AROUND THE WEB:
Give me the Wasabi and Peacock over Honeysuckle, thank you very much! You’re right on.
Remember early last year, they said Purple/Aubergine was THE color – before they switched to turquoise. Not sure if it was Pantone, though. Just media. But I think the same thing will happen w/Honeysuckle. Although men seem to be enjoying wearing pink (discovering their Yin side!)
Have a joyful New Year! Look forward to your insights in 2011!

I’m not generally a fan of pink, but I was willing to give the Honeysuckle a chance…But it looks so different on the screen. When I finally looked at the BM fan deck, hoping to paint my new guest bathroom with the color, OH NO! No way. Too pink. Live and learn, right?
I DID consider the Wasabi for my office…but ended up with the Pale Avacado and am very, very happy; esp. with steel gray rug, it is fabulous (must post this!) But I am a big fan of the green family.
As always, thanks for your great post Kelly!
Happy New Year and all best wishes.

I love Wasabi Green!!!! I’ve loved this color for a long time and I’m so glad you included it Kelly
it’s the colour I plan to use for my guest room when I redecorate it this year.
Wishing you a Happy and Colorful New Year to you too!
Love your first two colour picks
Both colours are strong and vibrant and beautiful, and really make an impact in a room.
Looking forward to seeing your other two colours picks
Happy 2011!
