Happy Weekend, Pantone's 2011 Color of the Year

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!  I've got two more Saturday classes before Christmas/New Year break so that's exciting.  I love going to school but driving to and from Atlanta can be a grind!  Anyhoo, in case you haven't heard Pantone revealed their 2011 Color of the Year yesterday (here's last year's pick).

What do you think?  It's a bold choice for sure (though I did see it coming in a way).  I'm going to put on my (former) color forecasting hat for a minute and just say I think this will relate more to fashion than home.  I'm not saying it's not for interiors, it is, but I'm seeing it more as an accent or paired with other colors for a fresh twist.  I did a quick search for some pink clothes and accessories (all are under $50) you can find right now and my picks are below.  It's hard to say how close the colors actually are to the Pantone pick but we'll just say they are - ha!
