Pantone color of 2010

Makes you picture the sea or a Blue Hawaiian, depending on your mood - Kristin Burns

A nice cheerful color this year for the brand new decade. Amazing how much it has already come up in my recent photo work.

  

 Sophie rocks turquoise stripes - Kristin Burns

Pantone has been pretty spot on for their Colors of the Year (2009, 2008) and with the lingering 80s influence, turquoise will be incorporated into fashion, home decor & product design.

 Julianne's blue eyes and turquise accent look terrific with pink - Kristin Burns

We used it as an accent color in my daughter's nursery when we designed it in 2008, which could mean we were ahead of the curve but more likely it's just a pretty, not-too-girly color that looks great with the ubiquitous pink we knew we've never truly avoid.

 

Emmet, ever ahead of the game - Kristin Burns

So get ready to see turquoise all over crib fabrics, mobiles and toys for both boys & girls in 2010. If you have a turquoise nursery, I'd love to photograph it!
