What is the 2010 Color of the Year?

Before you pick up that paint brush and slather on yet another variation of sage green in your home, did you hear that Pantone has chosen the color of 2010?

If you want to be hip and happening, go with “Turquoise — 15-5519 TCX.” That’s the color to the left.

Pantone suggests that Turquoise 15-5519 could be “…Perfect for a powder room or bedroom, Turquoise is an evocative, spa-like hue that adds an undertone of warmth and excitement to any cool space. In the kitchen, Turquoise adds a unique flare to tabletop and appliances.”

We had fun applying Pantone’s Hot Fall Colors in 2008 to real homes we found on Dueling Digs. Need some home improvement ideas?
