Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®, credited its connection to feelings of serenity, protection and luscious escapism.
“Through years of color word-association studies,” she said, “we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many — taking them to a tropical paradise.”
And who couldn’t use a bit of tropical fantasy these days?
Blue has long been considered America’s favorite color. This Turquoise is one of the brightest, cheeriest shades in the family. The current popularity of zingy colors breaks with the old belief that economically rough times call for soft, neutral hues.
