According to the experts at Pantone, the company that (among other things) predicts the color trends for fashion and home goods, 2011 is looking rosy.

Pantone has decided that the hue or the year is Honeysuckle, a hot reddish pink. "In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going - perfect to ward off the blues," says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.

Expect to see this shade popping up as a strong accent color in this season's wardrobes - but not worn head-to-toe.

What do you think of it?
