2005: Blue Turquoise

I am to say that I am not thrilled that there is a group of people who chose the color that we are to be gaga over. I personally did not like this year’s color or next. I will stay with the colors I like. Call me unfashionable but I like to be an individual.
It is an interesting phenomenon that Pantone has such sway over the interior design industry in particular. Can’t say I disagree with you Lisa.
