Turquoise

Pantone Inc., the world-renowned authority on color has declared TURQUOISE the 2010 Color Of The Year. Specifically Pantone 15-5519.

In fashion, the color turquoise makes a statement that can look elegant and dressy in silk and gemstones, or casual and fun in cotton and athletic wear. Because of its versatility, turquoise is a great accent color in jewelry, purses, shoes, and hair accessories. Turquoise necklaces, bracelets and earrings that you make yourself are very simple ways to accessorize your wardrobe this year.

Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing. It is a universally flattering color. With both warm and cool undertones. Turquoise pairs nicely with any other color in the spectrum. Turquoise adds a splash of excitement to neutrals and browns, complements reds and pinks, creates a classic maritime look with deep blues, livens up all other greens, and is especially trend-setting with yellow-greens.  

For brides wanting a flattering choice for attendant apparel and accessories on their big day, Turquoise is now one of the nearly 200 PANTONE WEDDING Colors available from Dessy, a leading manufacturer of bridesmaid, social occasion and flower girl dresses, as well as destination wedding gowns under the labels Dessy Collection, After Six, Alfred Sung, Lela Rose Bridesmaid and Sandals Destination Wedding Dresses.
