This time we’re looking at ‘Pantone Scuba Blue’. As it’s name suggests it’s another aqua inspired shade — although probably most people would call it turquoise! It’s a vibrant, …

Colour Your World | #2 Pantone Aquamarine

So a couple of days ago I was talking about the colour forecast for this spring and I started thinking about how we’d use some of these shades in the home. This time round I’m looking at Pantone Aquamarine. It’s always a little easier to keep up with trends and fashions for our wardrobe — as the …
