It’s that time when the folks at Pantone decide what the new hit color will be for the following year, sending designers to their drawing boards, retailers to restock shelves and consumers to toss anything not in the new hue.
Dazzling Blue is shade. It’s bright, kind of cobalty-royal. It’s not my favorite, being mostly a green or orange gal, but hey, that’s what makes a market. 
It replaces last year’s Emerald. And the year before: Tangerine Tango. Speaking of Tangerine Tango, the book, is one-year-old this month.
Check it out! It’s a great little gift book that fits in a handbag or back pocket. Perfect for Halloween baskets, hostess gifts, and stocking stuffers.
So does Dazzling Blue work for you? What do you already own in the new hot shade?
I love that dazzling blue. Ive been told blue is my color.
Congrats on one year of your book. I’ve always loved that title!!

As you know Judy, I ‘ve been thinking of it but can’t come up with a great title yet. And have other projects I’m working on too. Maybe next year.

That’s Duke blue around here! Happy birthday to Tangerine Tango. And thank you again, Lisa, for being the editor and publisher. You did a wonderful job! Our local bookstore recently asked for a few more copies, which Judy delivered.

That’s a great blue, which is definitely my spectrum. Purple will always be number one, though!

I am also a fan of this blue. It’s not a color I would wear (my colors are those of autumn), but I do love it. It’s my son’s favorite color. And congrats on one year since your book came out. I love it!

My favorite!! “royal” blue and it reminds me of wearing a pillowcase in that color when I had to sing the male lead in Camelot at St Joseph’s camp for girls!
