pantone selects turquoise as the colour of 2010



as we approach flipping our calendars to the next decade, the colour experts at pantone have announced
their selection for the colour of 2010: turquoise. the specific shade the company selected is pantone®
15-5519 turquoise which they describe as an inviting and luminous hue. they go on to explain,
‘turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the
everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.’ while there is
no real way to check pantone’s predication accuracy, it is always interesting to see where they pick on
the colour wheel.

It's sort of funny that they pick a colour for the year. I like it. The idea, not the colour. The colour sucks a bit.

The future colour of corporate green?
Green-wash?
The colour to use to hide ignorance/inertia and to promote the maintenance of the 'status quo'
