Welcome Blue Iris! |  Pantone has selected the color Blue Iris (PANTONE 18-3943) as the 2008 Color. The Blue Iris hue will represent a color direction in 2008, for fashion, cosmetics, and home products:
 "Combining the stable and calming aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple, Blue Iris satisfies the need for reassurance in a complex world, while adding a hint of mystery and excitement.
..As a reflection of the times, Blue Iris brings together the dependable aspect of blue, underscored by a strong, soul-searching purple cast. Emotionally, it is anchoring and meditative with a touch of magic. Look for it artfully combined with deeper plums, red-browns, yellow-greens, grapes and grays..."
explains Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director for Pantone Color Institute®.
