I'm late with this

but thought I should still bring to your attention the 2008 Pantone Color of the Year: Blue Iris -- "A Multifaceted Hue Reflecting the Complexity of the World that Surrounds Us".

There's more: "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." Says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®, "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."

Oh my.
