Antiguidade

In continue of the oldest posts, we already know that the colour Turquoise was associeted to many cultures in the world. It was used principaly by the Egyptian culture in jewelry to adorn the most rich persons and, of course, protect them.

Atualidade

In 2010, Turquoise was named 'The colour of the year' for the Winter session.

“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color. It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.”    -    Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®
