Continuing on a design theme, the art geek in me was glad to see one of my favorite colors named as Pantone Color of the Year-

Pantone Color of the Year 2010:
Turquoise

Pantone Unveils Color of the Year for 2010:
PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise

I prefer "cool" colors & particularly aqua/turquoise hues because they remind me of water & the sea while also lending themselves to futuristic color schemes combined w/ chrome or metallics.

Pantone is definitely a useful color-matching system that I use often at work, but I'm so bad with numbers that I only know a few specific swatch numbers.

My top 3 colors would be
1. Black
2. Turquoise
3. Olive Green

Metallics are always cool too, but they are kind of separate.
