Limpet Shell sounded like a pink or coral shade, not aqua blue!

Too pastel for me.

Anything has got to be better than the current color,  Marsala.

Who decides this for us all?? Who would wear a color just because some nobody said it was the COLOR OF THE YEAR? Seriously.

This is a blurb from Wikipedia about how the color of the year is chosen:

Annually Pantone declares a particular color "Color of the Year". Twice a year the company hosts, in a European capital, a secret meeting of representatives from various nations' color standards groups. After two days of presentations and debate, they choose a color for the following year; for example, the color for summer 2013 was chosen in London in the spring of 2012.[16] The color purportedly connects with the zeitgeist; for example the press release declaring Honeysuckle the color of 2011 said "In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to ward off the blues."[17] The results of the meeting are published in Pantone View ($750), which fashion designers, florists, and many other consumer-oriented companies purchase to help guide their designs and planning for future products

I like some of the colors like Fiesta and the yellow but I already forgot the name.  LOL

Not a fan of rose quartz.  It reminds me of mauve which I've always thought of as a color for a mother of the bride dress.

Pink by any other name....is still pink.  Which I happen to love ever since I bought that blush Roma 2 bag and the blush Gili obi belt.  I was never a "pink" girl before but I added some pink to my wardrobe.  The Rose Quartz name got me because I collect rose quartz jewelry.  I don't really pay any attention to the "color of the year" chatter.

Oh my gosh, I love that palette. Snorkel Blue is great. I would have loved to see some sort of turquoise or aqua shade in there - I can't get enough of those.
