If Looking at the world through rose colored glasses isn’t working, try honeysuckle! Honeysuckle has just been deemed color of the year by The Pantone Color Institute, the world’s authority on color. Experts say this hue has the power to lift spirits and impart confidence to meet life's ongoing challenges.

“Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother, the color red, the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute® in a pantone.com interview.



In nature, honeysuckle is the plant whose blossoms provide life sustaining nectar to hummingbirds, one of the few species with beaks long enough to reach into the tube-like flowers.

“The intensity of this festive reddish pink allures and engages. In fact, this color, not the sweet fragrance of the flower blossoms for which it was named, is what attracts hummingbirds to nectar. Honeysuckle may also bring a wave of nostalgia for its associated delicious scent reminiscent of the carefree days of spring and summer,” Eiseman said.




As sweet as the honeysuckle’s fragrance is, it’s the vision of this color that attracts birds and consumers alike to this flower. This reddish-pink color has been spotted on a wide range of celebs from the tween-idol Kristen Stewart to our first lady Michelle Obama.



This color has been invigorating wardrobes throughout the world this season and has even started to brighten up home décor, stationary, bedding and now even credit cards! Where will Honeysuckle go next?

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your
post seem to be running off the screen in Safari.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.

The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
Kudos

Hi this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I
could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then
that, awesome blog!

Hey there! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
Does operating a well-established blog such as yours require a lot of work?
I'm completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I'd like
to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips
for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
