Round 2: Place Your Bets {Pantone Color of the Year 2015}

Last year, I decided to have a little guessing game fun and tried predicting what would be Pantone's Color of the Year for 2014. You can check out that post here. I was floored when they announced the color a few months later was going to be Radiant Orchid, and I discovered I was right.

So of course, I want to keep the tradition going and guess again this year to see if I have a knack for this sort of thing. Hey, maybe Pantone can just hire me to decide the colors from now on if I prove to be that good at predicting.

My prediction for 2015 is going to be along the lines of the royal blue or cerulean family.

I'm a fan of blues in general...and I think that cobalt and navy have been popular enough that this color should definitely get its own year by now, don't you agree?

Love Bougainvillea!  Wish it grew in our cold climate.  Wow Colors with grey stone.

Doesn't that cerulean door look fabulous with those Radiant Orchid-colored flowers?

I think this shade of blue would be a great choice for Pantone being that it looks great in home decor as well as in fashion.

And it pretty much works for all seasons, not like say, burgundy, which is traditionally more of a fall/winter trend.

And let's be honest, it's one of the most versatile colors, being that it can be paired easily with a wide range of colors - such as pink, coral, emerald, yellow, orange, etc.

So we will see in a few months if I'm right again! What is your bet for the Pantone Color of the Year 2015? Do you agree with me?
