so if you've been following my art for awhile or know me well..you know that my FAVORITE color is TURQUOISE! I've had turquoise hair, I think I have a combination of about 20 shirts, dresses, pants, hats, etc. in that color AND I use it in almost every piece of art that I create. Those of you familiar with graphic design, know about Pantone PMS colors ~ the universal color matching system and standards for color. Well if you don't, get educated! They have a fabulous wealth of knowledge on their website with great info on trends, color palettes, etc. in design, architecture, interior and fashion. Just released by Pantone....2010 color of the year....TURQUOISE!
from pantone website...
"In many cultures, Turquoise is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that to many people, Turquoise represents an escape, taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting – even if it is only a fantasy."
