pantone color of 2010 {turquoise}
I hope that everyone had a lovely New Year's celebration! I cannot believe that 2009 and the holiday season are over but there is so much to look forward to in the coming year, such as the pantone named color of the year--turquoise. It is such a energetic, powerful, yet quite tranquil color and seems like the perfect one to welcome the new decade. It is definitely a color where the smallest touch goes a long way...

Do you agree with this predication? I truly love it but I don't think that I could ever use it as a wall color in a main living space--although I am always drawn to Farrow & Ball's Arsenic when looking through color samples.

I love that quirky home features in the Jan 2010 Canadian House & Home!
Happy New Year to you!
If I were to use turquoise on the walls, I'd keep the main pieces of furniture in the room a fairly muted color with bright pops of complimentary colors in the accessories.

It is refreshing.
It is the color of clarity.
It is the color of the thymus chakra that lies between the heart=green and the head=blue, that softens up the angry little lump in our throat.
Something that can be beneficial as we walk through the front door.
...and it goes great with grey!
I don't believe I would choose a colour like this for an entire wall, but never say never.
Great post - The January 2010 House & Home has given me tons of inspiration.
Thanks for sharing,
xoxo

Turquoise - yes I agree on that, and a few other colours for accent, such as yellow, purple and perhaps also green.
I also see the return of 'plain' - a neutral, untreated, eco friendly wave for 2010.
What a great & exciting year we have ahead!

It's almost a "must" color.
