Thought you might like to see Pantone’s “Color of the Year” 2000 – 2011 all in one place. It was fun putting them all together and it’s definitely a colorful final image.

Red is exciting, orange is energetic, yellow is happy, green is peaceful, blue is calming, purple is mysterious – so there ya have it. We have colors with a side of words. One order of color psychology fast and easy. Just like lunch from a drive-thru.
