The Pantone Color of 2010 has been named, and the winner is...
turquoise!
I really think this should be called "Lagoon". I can smell salty air already...
I suppose, after 2009, people are enjoying color as a way to enhance moods, and this one does it.
Turquoise and brown have been big for a while - here is a Master Bedroom I consulted on four years ago, the walls are painted in Ralph Laurens Ionic Sky (discontinued, not sure why). It was meant as an escape from a hectic life, and the owners LOVED this color I chose.
I really think Turquoise needs to be used with another bold hue if it is to look current.
My favorite is Green:
a tween bedroom by Sarah Richardson:
Another Kids Room (can't remember where I got this one - sorry):
Anthropologie has some amazing Textiles to get a hit of Turquoise and Green:
How about Hot Pink? 
Or with Yellow a la Johnathon Alder?
Turquoise and White are Cool and Clean:
Bring in some natural texture/color for warmth:
Turqouise and red boho from Anthropologie. Imagine these in a white walled room with old wood floors:
Add these lights from Design within Reach:
Prefer more Glamour? A Dining Room and Office from Muriel Brandolini:
Another Dining Room from Sarah Richardson:
Turquoise and gold wallpaper! How great would this be on a feature wall? Again, Anthropologie - I admit it, I would like to move into their store...
Want more? Get your turquoise fix from your wardrobe...
The classic, Tiffany, of course - loving Turquoise with gold:
Or just have some fun at the salon - let the blacks and greys go and look towards spring...
till next time...
Thanks for reading: Turquoise!
