Pantone has just announced “Honeysuckle” as their color of the year for 2011, so expect to see this pinkish hue used on everything from signboards, to futons, to dinnerware, to lipsticks in the upcoming year. Here’s what they have to say about the color:

Honeysuckle emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. A dynamic reddish pink, Honeysuckle is encouraging and uplifting. It elevates our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence, courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges that have become part of everyday life.

So, what do you think, is honeysuckle hot or not? You can read more about their color choice on Pantone’s website. [via The Gloss]
