It's all in the color

Pantone Inc., the global authority on color, has selected Pantone 19-1557 Chili Pepper, a deep, spicy red, as the color of the year for 2007.

With personality reflected in everything from cell phones to personal Web pages, Chili Pepper expresses confidence and design savvy.

"In 2007 there is an awareness of the melding of diverse cultural influences, and Chili Pepper is a reflection of exotic tastes both on the tongue and to the eye. Nothing reflects the spirit of adventure more than the color red," says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.

"At the same time, Chili Pepper speaks to a certain level of confidence and taste. Incorporating this color into your wardrobe and living space adds drama and excitement, as it stimulates the senses."
