Mimosa is on the way out , and turquoise is ready to takeover 2010. That’s not my opinion, that’s straight from the color authorities at Pantone who have been selecting the ‘Color of the Year’ since 2007. Previous selections have (if my memory isn’t totally tarnished) definitely been ‘it’ colors:
2007: Chili pepper
2008: Blue iris
2009: Mimosa
Does the color of the year title, while meaningless, make you look at turquoise any differently?
Here are some of my turquoise wants of the moment, images are linked to purchase location. Clearly some are a bit more practical than others..but hey, maybe I can wear turquoise Roberto Cavalli spiked heels to work one day?




Oh, and if you will be venturing into turquoise in 2010, one of my favorite color combos is bright red and turquoise…give it a shot.
