Sand dollar

Pantone's Sand Dollar 13-1106 was the 2006 Color of the Year.

It's considered a neutral color that expresses concern about the economy.

While most other colors of the year are brighter this neutral shade is warm and feeds into the trend of natural and organic. While it can be reminiscent of the desert and other natural environments, it is a top choice for home and fashion design.
