Turquoise
“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “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.”To read the entire article from Pantone, visit this link.

I have a turquoise drawer, too! Plus, I love the combination with "tomato soup" red. You may actually see a necklace with that combo in print this summer. :)

I knew there was a reason I loved this colour - most of my beads from some turquoise in them, I am wearing a coral and turquoise bracelet and turquoise earrings as I comment - Love the Turquoise!
It's one of my favorite colors too. You can go in so many different directions depending on what you pair it up with.
I love turquoise and think it is one of those colors that will never go out of style.
