After doing my last post I realized the picture didn't portray the right shade of honeysuckle. It wasn't reddish-pink enough. It came across as too mauve, too similar to the "Thrills" gum I used to chew as a kid.Pantone's Honeysuckle is warmer, with reddish undertones. This picture is a much better example of what the color is supposed to look like. It's fresh and contemporary, but retro too...it reminds me of the shade of lipstick my mother used to wear!
Honeysuckle looks great with black and white as a backdrop, but it's also stunning paired with turquoise or blue. For a truly vibrant punch, add tones of orange and red, wow!
