Pantone’s Color of the Year 2010

Bookmark and Share


Pantone just announced PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise, an inviting, luminous hue, as the Color of the Year for 2010.

Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise inspires thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a comforting escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.

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.

Whether envisioned as a tranquil ocean surrounding a tropical island or a protective stone warding off evil spirits, Turquoise is a color that most people respond to positively. It is universally flattering, has appeal for men and women, and translates easily to fashion and interiors. 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.

Turquoise wasn’t chosen on a whim. The Color Institute team travels the world, absorbing colors in all sorts of contexts, studying consumer psychology and hitting trade shows.

In their 2010 and 2011 color-planning reports, they honed in on several blue and green shades. The winning turquoise represents the best of these broader trends.
