I always look forward to seeing what color will be Pantone's Color of the Year, and this year they've chosen Very Peri. The color encompasses the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time possesses a violet-red undertone. Pantone says it displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression.
In 2018 the color was Ultra Violet - a blue based purple, and in 2014 it was Radiant Orchid - all in the same color family. I hastily went through my blog posts and pulled out photos of teawares in my collection that are close to those colors.
January is National Hot Tea Month. What teacups and/or teapots do you have in your collection in Pantone's Color of the Year palette to use at teatime this month?
I read at Rosemary's Sampler - the blog of Sweet Remembrances Tearoom and Rosemary House [Herb, Spice and Tea Shop] in Mechanicsburg, PA, that the Viola, Violets, and Pansies, are the herb of the year for 2022. They coordinate with Pantone's Color of the Year.
I actually like the "color of the year" this year, which is not always the case - but I don't know that I have any teawares that go with it particularly well. That's ok, I set my table according to what I have and what I like, so it if happens to go with the color of the year, that's a happy surprise!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a pretty color this year! And also fun to Rosemary's Sampler mentioned in your post!
