Color of the Year Day Is Today!
Find your color of the year and tell me about it in the comments.
The comments section will close in 24 hours. I am not limiting it to 50 this year (most years, I have).
On January 12th, I’ll give you a little information about your year- and then… And I’ll pick two colors more.
One will be your support color- a color that you can wear or have about you when you need strength- a color that complements your year’s story.
And one will be your YES color- a color that speaks to you when you need it.
How to Participate in Color of the Year 2016
Find your color
Use my intuitive process (at the bottom of the page) to identify your color for the year 2016.
Donate to the charity of your choice
Yay! Share the Wealth! You’re on the honor system. When you post your color comment today, please write I donated my $$. If you want to say who you donated to, and include a link to your charity of choice, I would love that. Others might be inspired to donate to your charity as well.
Share your color
Post a picture or a description of the color (or tell me the pantone number or hex number) in the comments of this post. Also, if you’d like, share your color on facebook or twitter or instagram or pinterest or your blog with a link to the Color of the Year Page.
Come back and read about your colors
I’ll tune in and tell you what I see about your 2016 ! Come back on January 12th to start seeing the results. Remember, this year, instead of an in-depth read- you’ll get a few sentences about your color, plus two other colors to fill out your palette (a supporting color and a yes color).
Thank you so much for playing with me!
How to Find Your Color of the Year
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Take another deep breath. On your next deep, but comfortable breath, count how long your inhale lasts. Make your exhale the same length.
Continue your focused breathing until you feel your body relax and your mind calm.
Then say my color for 2016 is…
And watch your color come forward in your mind’s eye.
This is the most accurate color for your year.
Don’t fight your color. It doesn’t have to be a color that you like or to which you’d be attracted.
If your color doesn’t come up for you via focused breathing, you can also try this interesting test from ColourLovers: Color of the Year .
Thank you for playing with me! Here’s to a beautiful 2016!
PLEASE NOTE: COLOR OF THE YEAR COMMENTS ARE CLOSED! If you didn’t make it in- I’m sorry. Come back anyway on January 12th. And see what we have in store for you, vis-a-vis your color!
Happy New Year, Bridget! I hope your 2016 is off to a splendid start 🙂 Thank you for doing this again!
Well, I thought my color for the new year was going to be a tangerine/orange hue… but then when I went through your intuitive process what came through loud and clear was “aquamarine.” Similar to Pantone 636. It reminds me of some beautiful ocean waters off the coast of New Zealand that we kayaked in a few years ago.
The charity I’m donating to this week is called The Southwest Health Coalition http://healthcoalitionswc.org. The Health Coalition Fund provides up to $500 for rent, household expenses, groceries, and other necessities (gas cards, etc.) to people with cancer. They are a small organization and do amazing work.
Thank you again! I always look forward to your color of the year readings in January. <3
Mindy
Mindy- beautiful color! and the right color for you. Those colors are related, so don’t be surprised if the tangerine shows up as one of your other colors.
Thank you so much, Bridget. This is my third year, and I’m a little nervous to find out what my color means. Last year’s color was a muted metallic tone, and my year went all topsy-turvy midway through. My intuition is that this color is NOT the calm restorative year I was hoping for.
My $$ went to Portland Jobs with Justice – http://www.jwjpdx.org – who are advocating for better working conditions for all of Oregon’s workers.
My color for 2016 is coral, the color of these roses: (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/556264991448119679/ if the img tag doesn’t take.)
Poppy-
Don’t worry. Coral does not a bad year make!
Color of the year 2016
Thank you for doing this again – I am really excited about the different format this year!
I donated my money to:
https://crm.astraeafoundation.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=5
Astraea Foundation – they work for LGBTQI human rights and social justice.
After doing your intuitive process, my color seems to be:
http://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/color/21370_Premier-Paints-T10-3-Sugared-Peach
It’s the first time your intuitive process has worked for me in finding my color! I resisted it, but re-read your instructions and so here it is.
Thanks again, Bridget!! <3 Happy 2016!
Good job Alannah! That resisting is so common! You broke through. Very cool!
My color this year is an orangey-yellow, Pantone 137.
I donated money to Friends of the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary.
Thanks Bridget! Happy New Year!!
http://www.bornfreeusa.org/sanctuary/
Heck Yeah! Bri! Great COLOR for your Year! And cool charity too!
Hey- remember to tell me that you donated money to your charity of choice. Also- list the charity, if you’d like! People who don’t tell me they’ve donated, don’t get to play. We raise so much money this way, and it makes the world better!
Thank you for this. My color is your dulce de leche color, B.–I’ll post a photo of something of mine of the color I mean on fb, as I can’t seem to here. I donated money and am so excited to check out others’ orgs–I am glad ppl are posting them. I hope ppl will learn more about p:ear in Portland, Oregon! Thanks again!
I love this color for you Kristin!
Happiest New Year to you Bridget!!!
I’ll be adding to my donation with Kiva today!
The color of the year that came to me was Olive Green.
I believe the color panatone color: FS 34127 (Mikesh) or maybe closer to a light olive green:Thorpe N5… I’ll try to get my screen shots to post here… I’ll just have to do that later today.
Beautiful color, Rachel!
Happy New Year, Bridget! I was certain I was going to come up with something bubbly and energizing. However, not the case. I’ve fallen into the ‘blackish’ color, which is odd because I feel so far from dark as this new year begins. The closest pantone I could get to my 2016 color of the year is 433 UP. http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/433-UP.
My $$ donation went to Tillamook Animal Shelter, http://www.tillamookanimalshelter.org/ in honor of Charlie.
Thanks, Bridget. Mwah!!
Interesting… I’m going to have to noodle on this one, my friend! Great Charity Choice!
Yay! Bridget! I just donated to ahomefordawn.org they help women transition out of human sex trafficking. When I went to donate I saw that Jan 11, 2016 is Human Trafficking Awareness Day. They use a navy blue ribbon.
My color is pinkishgold with yellow tones. It came to me in a dream I had years ago and then this week when I asked. It came in dream as a coat. Soft leather that was alway looking like it could change colors. It comforted me then and now. I could not find a picture that captures it. It also makes me feel like it is part of the dawn or sunset the lightest hue though. And then I think rose brut champange which is funny I guess i think i need to celebrate more. Of course I find it interesting that my organization has the name Dawn in it, there no accidents right? Love you, Cynthia
Your color came to you this year, in a dream, as a coat. That’s gorgeous!
That’s a beautiful color!
I donated to Mary’s Place in Seattle (http://www.marysplaceseattle.org/)
My color is at the edge of what humans can see — nearly ultraviolet. It feels electric to me.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10205762015185716&set=p.10205762015185716&type=3&theater
Great color and great organization! Oh my goodness- this is going to be cool.
Hi, Bridget! My color is a rich blue, Pantone 2387C. I used your process, and this color was a surprise to me. I usually am drawn to earthy, orangey-red hues. I like this blue, but I don’t have anything in this color. I’m interested in what you have to say about this!
I make monthly donations to Family ElderCare.
New Year blessings to you and yours!
I have that color in one of my rooms at the guest house- the bedroom designed for wisdom! Expect a deep year, my dear!
Happy New Year!! I donated to http://togetherrising.org/ because I trust Glennon and the women who are working with her to make the world a better place. Right now, they’re helping refugees and it makes me feel so much less helpless to know that warm clothes and food are being provided already.
I’m a bit nervous about my color, after your story, but it was the one that showed up. PANTONE 107 CP, a bright goldy yellow.
Thank you so much!!
Raven- I think I scared a lot of people with my story. A bright goldy yellow does not point to a terrible year. Don’t worry. Excited to check out this organization that you donated to!
I’ve donated to Medecins Sans Frontieres – which you can find here: http://www.msf.org.uk/
And my colour is Pantone 1915 – A beautiful strong pink. Which rather shocked me, I have to tell you. Not exactly a “pink” kind of a girl!
Sending love
xxxxx
Amy- this color was made for you!
Happy New Year everyone! I love everyone’s color of the year so far! Mine was quite different from what I expected. I saw sunflowers, but the color is called marigold, as it turns out. Pantone 14-1050, a rose-tinged orange. Definitely not a color I could ever wear : )
I donated to my favorite children’s psychiatric hospital, Bradley Hospital in Rhode Island. They do fabulous work and research with autistic children. Check them out at http://giving.lifespan.org/BradleyHospital
Bridget, I’m waving at you across this wide land! May your year be blessed with grace!
Thank you Ullie! This color makes sense for you. It’s a good one!
Hello Bridget. Wishing you and everyone here a fabulously colorful 2016. I donated to The Honeybee Conservancy. http://thehoneybeeconservancy.org/
My color is Honey Gold – Pantone 15-1142.
Thanks so much for doing this – I love this new iteration!
We’re seeing a lot of honeyed tones already, Deborah! And thank you! I love this iteration too!
A wonderful tradition! Thank you, bridget.
I donated to Alpha Project (they do ahhhhmazing work with our local homeless population).
My color is a dark green. (I can’t shake it!)
PANTONE 19-5513 TCX
Dark Green
Oh Rebecca- that’s a good shade. Don’t shake it. It’s a good one.
Oh I love Color of the Year so much! Happy new year! Happy new color!
I just registered to donate monthly to Defenders of Wildlife – my heart needs to help wolves. And my color is Chartreuse (!!??) – more yellow than green though. Like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/78390849742147889/
I am SO curious. This is not a color I would have consciously chosen.
P.S. THANK YOU!!!
Wolves are so cool and so necessary. Really happy that you’ve found an animal that you’re aligned with and will defend. I’m curious about how this color mixes with you too, looking forward to looking!
Bridget, thank you, thank you!
My color that came up for me is Pantone 375, which really surprised me. I don’t think of “my” colors as being that bold usually, but…it’s come up time and again.
And I have donated to World Wildlife Fund to support panda bears and other awesome endangered animals 🙂
That’s a vibrant green, lady! Might be a good color to run in, too!
You know me so well 😉 I have a couple of tanks with it as highlights. The bright still spooks me a little.
I donated my $$ to musica intima, a vocal ensemble with whom I used to perform and who are doing great stuff.
Continuing in the tradition of colors choosing me that I would basically NEVER choose, my colour this year is a pastel pink that would be the perfect 1950s sweater-girl sweater colour. Colour Lovers calls it strawberry cream, which sounds about right. 🙂 Hex colour somewhere in the neighbourhood of #FBCFCF.
I’m hoping you’re gonna tell me that one of the complementary colours is, like, glossy motorcycle jacket black or something! Ha.
And thank you, Bridget. <3
Lauren- That’s hilarious. Color sounds interesting, though!
I guess I first posted as a reply to an existing comment, so I’m fixing that. 😉
I donated to Strawberry Mountain Mustangs. http://strawberrymountainmustangs.com/ for all the work they do for starved and neglected equines.
My color of the year was clear. It came to me as royal purple, though colorhexa calls is dark violet. I’ll take either name. 🙂 http://www.colorhexa.com/4e2383
Thanks, Bridget! I love the new format.
I love Strawberry Mountain Mustangs! They’re the best! And this color- yes. Simrat. YES.
Great Good Morning to you, Bridget! Welcome to 2016 🙂
Here’s my color of the year – http://www.colourlovers.com/coloroftheyear/2016/4922/Bright_Fog –
it’s a “bright gray” (didn’t know there was such a thing!)
I got it by entering “Recognize, Remember, Re-al’ify”, which are my “Words for the Year”.
I will be giving the homeless lady “real money”, instead of ‘just small change’, on the way to work.
Bright Blessings to you ~
That’s so kind of you Karen! And this color- I am a sucker for grays. They are some of my favorites!
Happy New Year, Bridget! My color this year is http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/360-U Pantone 360U, a sort of bright green-y shade? I don’t know colors.
I donated $$ to a coworker’s sister whose son is in the hospital and who needs help paying for lodging and gas.
So excited to see the results!
I am so happy you’re helping out, Holli! This green is coming up for a lot of people!
Thank you! I donated to Saving Grace, the domestic violence helpline/organization in town. http://www.saving-grace.org/
My color was a fairly translucent green – about Pantone 3504 C, but more life-like – if that makes sense. I tried to capture it more with photoshop, like this https://www.pinterest.com/pin/5418462029706597/
Thanks for the prompt every year, I love this tradition!
Well, photoshop told me that was the Pantone color – trying it out on the Pantone website it didn’t work. This color does! http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/7481-CP
I too struggle with that but it’s more lifelike quality when I am sharing a color. There’s something about the wetness and translucence that doesn’t quite come through. In my mind’s eye, I see it though. Good color. One of my favorites!
Hi Bridget – Happy New Year! So glad you are offering us this opportunity again. This year I am donating to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy – tejonconservancy.org. They are stewards for a very unique, ecologically diverse region of pristine land (240,000 acres) in the Tehachapi Mountains – these lands speak to me every time I drive past – a reminder of what California was like before it was settled. I used the colourlovers website to arrive at my color – a jammy, chewy orange that reminds me of persimmons – Pantone 7626 C. I was surprised by this color, and went through the their process again – still drawn to it, so here we are!
Oh that’s jammy all right! Mary- I love it.
Thank you so much for offering this again! I remember listening to you talk about this in Astoria!
My color of the year is a deep pink—like PANTONE 708 C.
Color values: RGB 248 144 165
HEX/HTML F890A5
I’m donating to BinderCon, which is an organization that provides resources for women and gender nonconforming writers. They’re an amazing non-profit, and I’ve spoken at their conference in the past.
Good color, Esme! Nice to see you! Good org too!
Remember- you need to leave a note stating that you donated to your charity of choice. And please share your charity so we can know about it! I don’t share colors with people who don’t donate. And if you can’t donate money (we’ve all been there) donate time.
Hi B –
Super excited you’re doing this again.
Super grateful too.
Like a flash, Canary Yellow showed up #FFEF00. Exactly like my super hot jeans with the big fat piping when I was in 6th grade. Wore a matching top too. Yep. Style maven at 11. Ahem.
I’ve donated the East-West Refugee Collective. A group dedicated to bringing Syrian refugee families safely (and lovingly) into Canada.
You’re a dream. Thank you.
x/TG
Thanks TG! Dang- I wish I knew you when you were in 6th grade. That’s the same color that one of my kids got, and I can see how it’s a fit for each of you!
It’s a deep blue-purple. Closest that I found was hex 483d8b. I am donating to Oxfam (specifically a fund to help Syrian refugees).
Ruthie-
That’s where my money this year is going to go too. Thanks for sharing your color, looking forward to reading it!
Hi Bridget, thanks for another Color of the Year! My color is a vivid emerald green. I donated to Books for Africa.
Good color for you, for this year, Angela!
Huzzah! I donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Walk on behalf of a friend. http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR/Walk/NewYork?px=6315371&pg=personal&fr_id=2486
At first I got a flash of a real pale blue with a touch of green, the color of daiquiri ice cream! Then it changed into a deep inky dark blue – like this http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/PQ-2765C
Whoa! Crosby- Yours is going to be fun to read.
Hi Bridget! My color appears to be a traditionally sunflower yellow. I donated to The Jane Goodall Institute. http://www.janegoodall.org
This is exciting! Thanks for spreading the love and money.
Beautiful!
P.S. You know me by my maiden name Alicia Dickerson from Four-Legged Photo
Oh I know you either way!
Donated to CANTER USA (Mid-Atlantic Chapter). CANTER helps ex-racehorses find new careers after the track, by connecting owners and trainers directly to buyers. CANTER Mid-Atlantic also takes some on for adoption, and starts them in their new careers, reducing the barrier to finding a new home by lowering the re-training requirements. http://canterusa.org/mid-atlantic/donate/
My color for 2016 is a deep teal-ish blue. It just feels soothing and calm, and perfect, and I can’t seem to get away from it. The color I found that best matched was hex code: 1A3161 (and I’m pretty sure it’s hidden in this gorgeous ombre: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/71/c1/44/71c144327750cf67e0cf12f59036ab92.jpg)
Gorgeous!
Hi Bridget!
I’ve donated to: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk
Love playing with colour – thank you for this!
surprised that my colour is: ‘Persimmon’
http://www.colourlovers.com/coloroftheyear/2016/4908/persimmon
xxx
You are the second persimmon already this year! Good color!
Darling,
My $$ went to the pixie project 🙂
My color is yellow pantone 2x
What does it mean????? 🙂
You’ll know soon!
Hello, and happy new years! SO glad to see this is back. 🙂
I donated to the Madison Public Library Foundation in thanks for all the books they help me and others read.
My color is a soft golden color – http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/100-C
Thank you!! 🙂
Happy New Years! Pretty color!
i keep getting pumpkin, but I hate orange.
What’s up with that?
You would think that our colors would be something we would like. It doesn’t work that way. I promise that you will have a Yes or Support color that feels right to you!
I donated to Three Rivers Humane Society as always.
My color this year is an ocean blue with white running through it. The stone larimar. It’s not a color that gives me peace but it let me go.
Hey! I hoped you’d do Color of the Year! And I hope your sis turns up too! I need to look up this stone.
It would *not let me go.
I donated to St James Infirmary, a harm reduction-oriented clinic that provides free healthcare, counseling, clean needles and hormones to sex workers and their partners. http://stjamesinfirmary.org/
My color of the year, if I’m doing it right, is rose gold. Like this https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/s67.jpg or this http://michaelkors.scene7.com/is/image/MichaelKors/_swatch0622
Thank you Bridget! Happy New Year!
We are seeing a lot of pinky golds this year. Interesting trend.
Thank you, Bridget, for this offering. Happy New Year! My color of the year is a deep blackish red, kind of like bordeaux but richer … Closest I could get is Pantone 4975-C (https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/4975-C) Color Values: RGB 63 32 33
HEX/HTML 3F2021
CMYK 36 84 59 85
I donated to Girls Rock NC, a non-profit that empowers folks of marginalized genders, through creative expression, to be confident members of their communities. http://www.girlsrocknc.org/ Programming includes summer day camps plus an overnight camp for teens 14-18, using rock music a the vehicle of expression. I volunteer for the organization as well as a mentor and instrument instructor. There are 50+ Girls Rock programs all over the world (the first originating in Portland OR nearly 15 years ago).
Hi-
I donated my money. Thanks for doing this!
My color is poppy red – a red that is a beautiful combination with pink/coral/orange.
Here’s a link: http://static1.squarespace.com/static/55c2887ee4b05843623830db/55d10218e4b070e195e87bb9/55d1021ae4b070e195e87c9b/1358423528000/poppy.jpg?format=original
Oh pretty! Poppy is one of my favorite colors!
Thanks for doing this again Bridget! I look forward to it every year!
My color is a watercolor-y purple where you can see the red and blue kinda bleed out. Here is the purple Pantone 268:
http://rgb.to/pantone/268-c
I donated my money to lifeisonyourside.org an organization the helps youngs adults afford alternative treatments like acupuncture to increase their quality of life while dealing with cancer.
What an amazing organization! Interesting color too.
I love color of the year! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts!!! The process was fun and not what I expected. My color is a warm and feminine green I named Peacock Lassie. http://www.colourlovers.com/coloroftheyear/2016/4918/Peacock_Lassie
I’m donating to NAMI. http://namimultnomah.org/ Their mission is to improve the quality of life for people with mental illness and their families through support, education, and advocacy.
Hello from Japan! I hope I’m not too late for the party.
So my color I saw when I closed my eyes was…black! I thought I saw some stray of red or purple but it was overwhelmingly black. It didn’t sit well with me (ha!) so I used the other tool you posted, and sure enough it was also black….So I guess my color is black. Dying to know what this means!
I donated for a fundraising that my friend is doing for cancer research. She is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and is kicking strong, living everyday fully. She is a new friend I met last year but has been a source of inspiration ever since.
https://goo.gl/45QwZe
Hope I’ll see you again sometime Bridget!!
Etsuko
Etsuko-
You are not remotely too late! I hope to see you again too. I love your Facebook posts. Black is showing up for a lot of people this year!
Bridget, this is my first year participating. How did I ever miss it before? This is so generous! Thank you!
My colour is a teal like this: https://www.fabric.com/buy/ef-391/kona-cotton-teal-blue
I gave money to Jessie’s, a home and centre for young parents (under 18). http://jessiescentre.org
Cool color! A good match for you. Yay Carrie! So glad you are here!
Hi, Bridget —
As soon as I started reading your post I started picturing a color, this is pretty much it here (thanks for the tool so I could try to get a computer to find it for me!) http://www.colourlovers.com/coloroftheyear/2016/4931/Mauveby
I hope you’re doing great! Miss you around the office!
Hi Kristi!
Colourlovers is great. I am wearing your color right now.
Oops — donation! Um, okay, I’m donating to Elephant Nature Park in Thailand!
Heifer Project! Grey. Heathery.
Did the blues ever happen last year?
Heidi- the blues did not happen last year. Nor the purples nor pinks. Sorry to leave you hanging. Someone had an acid-green color that stopped me in my tracks. It was a harbinger for a very difficult year and I didn’t know how to answer her. It took the wind out of my sails and about 15 people didn’t get answers.
That is one of the reasons why we are doing it differently this year.
Glad you came back!
Wow! That is really crazy wild. I am back. Hahahah it felt a little off now having your take, but it turned out to be crazy, but good year. It was the electric blue of a flame”s center and it took me on a ride. Mwah! Hopefully your new format removes some of the pressure of the messenger. Thank you for coming back!
Happy New Year Bridget. Thank you so much for this wonderful way of splashing into the energy of the arising year. The color that came forward for me is an aqua blue watery color. Pantone 7471 U.
My donation is to Youth on their Own, a local charity that supports teens who are living on their own grades 6-12 up to age 21. https://yoto.org
Many Thanks, Corky
Corky-.I can’t imagine what it would be like to live on your own at such a young age. Happy that you are supporting such a cause.
Hi there, I’m donating the thr Ronald McDonald house is southwestern Ontario. My colour was greyish black which is strange bc l love colour! My house is painted in bright colours but I do feel drawn to greying black clothing lately.
Greys and blacks are all about autonomy, movement and change. And also, they are a great place to rest when we do have a lot of color in our lives!
Thank you so much, Bridget. My color is: http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/P-128-14-U . I wonder if it is a bit tinged with grief, as I lost my dearest kitty companion today. But it is also a color that makes me want to dive into – it feels dimensional and creative. I am drawn to this color with what I imagine as a drop of gray into the mix, though I couldn’t seem to replicate what is in my mind’s eye in the color palette available.
I am making a donation to Humane Society Silicon Valley, where I first found Myles in 2007.
xo
I saw on Facebook that Myles had passed. I am so sorry for your loss. I know what you mean by a drop of grey in it. I can see it in my mind’s eye. That would be hard to capture. I will do my best.
This is the first year I haven’t had total clarity about my color. When I closed my eyes and followed your process,, I saw this muted blue-gray color that’s sort of the color on the walls of our guest bedroom/office. It’s close to this: http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/544-XGC It doesn’t seem to match the energy of this year or my word for 2016–Limitless, but that’s what showed up.
On the other hand, the site that you recommended said my words suggested a black color, and when I did the next step–choosing the hue–it led me to this vibrant purple color (http://www.colourlovers.com/coloroftheyear/2016/4919/Stretch) which seems to be more in alignment with the energy I’m feeling now that I’ve learned to get over my self-imposed limits.
So, there you have it. 🙂 I have donated to Wayfinding Academy and will be donating to a student of mine who is trying to raise money for a trip to Japan this summer.
Thanks!
How about we use one as your color of the Year and one as a support or yes color?
My two cents- the one that turned up in your first attempt is a dead ringer for limitless!
But you knew I was going to say that.
Hi Bridget – love that you are doing this again and hope you have had a great start to the new year.
My color is year is magenta, like this shoe: http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/spelled-magenta.html
I am donating to Charity:Water: http://www.charitywater.org
Thank you!!!
Mia-
Fabulous color and a good color for you!
Hey Sugar! Thanks for doing this another year. It’s a real highlight. I donated money to The Freedom Belles and to the local library and to the local humane society. The color that tapped me on the shoulder and whispered in my ear is tangerine. x
We have had a couple tangerines this year. Good color! Good to see your smile, Jeanne!
Hi Bridget my color at first was also dark-almost black but then i got this turquoise flare coming out of that darkness. so i used the color of the year and came up with this what that color looked like
i donated to a local non-profit, the Geller Center, that helps college students with their spiritual development and and community community service from an interfaith, multi path perspective.. they are good people.
thanks so much for doing this again this year. love the new format. best wishes in 2016!
Made my donation!
Funnily enough the color that came through is a pale but vibrant rose quartz. When I went to look up the PANTONE color, I just saw that it is 1/2 of their Color of the Year combo!! So, that’s my color PANTONE 13-1520 if any different, it would be to say that I saw the color as light vibration, not as a painted color.
Hi Daniel!
I understand what you’re saying. Interesting color for you and for this year! Lots of lightness!
Thank you for the intuitive process. I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised.
I got a fairly dark but soft brown with a bit of pastel pink to it. Hex # 6b453a (http://www.colorhexa.com/6b453a) The phrase “mushroom brown” comes to mind.
I donated my $$ to Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts <3 (http://www.fortgondo.com/fort_gondo.html)

It’s an interesting little process, isn’t it? I use that focused breathing and ask a question process all of the time! I was thinking of this color as a YES color for one of the other Color of the Year participants. It’s so cool to see it in front of me on my laptop instead of just floating around in my brain. 🙂
This wasn’t anything like how I expected it to be!
My color for the year is “amber waves of grain” … so odd. It’s the golden rich, but also dark shadows of the sun coming through the grains in the wind. I have an actual hardcopy picture of the color that popped in, but I don’t know how else to describe it.
I donated to Little Friends for Peace, http://www.lffp.org/, an organization that works with children and adults to teach peace skills and nonviolence.
Monica- I’m going to google a bit and see if I can find a picture that matches. Interesting visual!
Happy to! Gorgeous color!
Hi Viviane!
I am going to take your whole color story into account. Thanks for being here!
One more from Laurel Ostberg : Tried very hard to keep an open mind with no preconceived ideas. Maybe tried a little too hard as it seemed to take a while for a color to come through…but I finally got a very deep dark blue, almost purple, with just slightly lighter blue flecks. It was really beautiful. I did donate.
