What’s your Color for 2012?
Here’s the Intuitive Process for Picking Your Color.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Take another deep breath.
On your next deep, but comfortable breath, count how long your inhale lasts.
Make your exhale the same length.
This is not a contest for who has the biggest breath. Just observe and count, don’t try to change it.
Do this breathing until you feel your body relax and your mind calm.
Then say my color for 2012 is…
And watch your color come forward in your mind’s eye.
This is the most accurate color for your year.
If you don’t get a color, try again. Or, you can also try this interesting test from ColourLovers: Color of the Year .
Don’t be nervous or worried about it. Don’t color your world with worry, honey.
Remember
When you post your color comment, please write I donated my $5. If you want to say who you donated to, and include a link to your charity of choice, that’s cool too!
The comment section will close after 50 entries. They will go fast. And then, on January 1st, I’ll start answering your colors!
Hey I'm really happy that you are back visiting my blog again. And I would love the opportunity to work with you to change your life. Click here to learn more about how I help people.

Hi Bridget!
As a person who loves blues and purples, I was a bit surprised by the color that came up for me this time. It’s a pinkish red color that I’m calling Deep Deep Blush, and I think it going to go well with my word for 2012, Sovereignty. I posted a swatch of the color on Instagram: http://instagr.am/p/cbSiT/
I donated $10 to the Charity: Water link you listed.
I’m really looking forward to what’s coming in 2012. Some of those things have already started.

Thanks so much for doing this Bridget! I had fun doing it on my own last year, but more fun to share and see what you have to say about it this year!
I donated my $5 to your Charity:Water drive
.
The color that floated up was a very dark, very intense purple. I couldn’t find a pantone that seemed quite right, so a photoshopped it and put it up on pinterest: http://pinterest.com/pin/5418462021397148/
Happy New Year and Best Wishes and Thank You!
Here’s my color: http://instagr.am/p/dOXBD/ (Pale green with a little bit of blue).
I tried to donate to Charity:Water but it says “This transaction cannot be processed.

I am describing it as a dark maroon. At first I thought my color was black, but then I realized it was just a very dark red. And I donated my $5 to Mercy Corps.

Hi Bridget,
According to my intuition and the colourlovers test,my color is fuchsia.

According to my meditation, as well as exploration on Pantone’s site and the Colour Lover test, my color for 2012 is Pantone 192C – a raspberry shade with orange and purple undertones.
It’s funny that your color is Tiffany Blue in nature – that’s been my color for the last half of 2011, and I think it will still be an instrumental color for me in 2012.
BTW, my $5 donation is going to The Pet Project Midwest. They run IowaPetAlert.com, which has helped during the search for my missing dog, and they also provide pet food to people who have fallen in hard times and are having troubles taking care of their pets. They hope to ensure they can keep their pets and not have any more go to shelters.

Hello Bridget! My color is a very deep purple/blue – nearly black. The closest color to my visual is PMS 269. I’m off to donate to the 90 Minutes for Water campaign just as soon as I hit submit. Wishing you a blessed new year!

Thank you for all the goodness you spill out into the world, Sugar. I donated (more than) my $5, and my color of 2012 is a shade of red I named Sweet Surprise. (But honestly, I didn’t want red. I preferred more of an aquamarine. Ah well.)
My color is pimento stuffed olive. I donated $25 to mycharity: water campaign. Happy New Year, Bridget. With much love and respect.

I used your intuitive method to find my colour of 2012, and I was surprised to find it was midnight blue (blue so dark, it’s almost black).
I posted on Pinterest and linked to your blog, but I’m not entirely sure I did it correctly (and I am doing this on my phone so I’m not able to link to it from here)… I’m pretty new to Pinterest!
I gave $5 to http://www.orphansponsorship.org as well!
P.S. I realize I should be a bit more specific. My Caribbean water color is blue and is somewhere between PMS 304 and 305!
I donated $18 (which stands for life, according to Jewish numerology) to Care.ca. The colour that came, shockingly to me, was orange, of all things!
Looking forward,
Shulamit
PS I’m here bc of @sarablackthorne
I don’t have a picture of the color that came up because it’s ubiquitous. It’s “night sky indigo-violet”, with a touch more violet than the midnight sky.
I did donate $10 to your Charity:Water project.

Hi Bridget! Happy New Year to you and yours.
I donated my $5 to my school’s PSA for scholarships for kids who couldn’t otherwise afford to go on our extended field trips. It’s life changing for our kids, and I’d rather pay my own way than have any of my students unable to go.
The color that came into my head was eggplant/aubergine, sort of like the color on this page:

Looking forward to seeing what that means.

My color for this year is indigo! It’s a mysterious blend of blue and purple. Feels almost like a secret color, hidden and full of mystery. (It’s mysteriously mysterious.)
I donated $25 to WriteGirl, my very favorite charity. (: Thanks for the motivation to do that!
My colour for 2012 is.. a pale, almost frosty, pink – but with some softness and warmth.

My color for 2012 is the color of a perfect pink rose from my flower garden. I think it is similar to the rose color I picked for 2010 and is my favorite color. Here is the link: http://www.colourlovers.com/coloroftheyear/2011/2459/Perfect_Pink_Rose
I donated $5 to your 90 minutes for water campaign.
Hello!
I donated $10 to Wikipedia this evening! It’s a non-profit rather than a charity but I support what they do nonetheless. My color is… well I was getting two colors: red and black swirling or kinda polka-dotted.
Thanks,

Hi Bridget! I donated $5.00 to your charity: Water!
Hope I’m in time…my color is bright shiney Apple Green! In a very short time I’ve suddenly become obsessed with this color and am seeing it everywhere!
Thank you for this and for alerting me to your charity – we take our Blessing of unlimited water for granted (even with the severe drought Texas has had these past couple of years we still don’t suffer what those in other parts of the world are living with daily.)
Happy New Year!
I’ve named my color for the year “Clementine”, after the citrus. Tangerine just seemed a little too routine. It’s basically Pantone 1655.
I have donated $5 (and more) to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Thank you, Bridget, for your gift of yourself and for reminding us to be of service.

Kind of returning to my 2010 color, but feels more joyous and ever-changing. I really enjoy the impression of looking up through oceans of shifting blues and turquoises and rich purples toward the light of the sky: “Rising”.
Bright Blessings, all ~

I donated to charity:water. My color is burnt red, almost orange. Like a deep orange. Weird for me as I have not thought of orange as a color for me.

I was surprised to discover that my color is blue… a rich, deep blue that on ColourLovers is called “Evening_Skyblue” (http://www.colourlovers.com/color/0B108C/Evening_Skyblue) but I think of it more as the color of the water as I left Capri one evening.
Donated to Charity Water. Love them!!

Hi Bridget,
I donated $5 to the White Wolf Sanctuary in Tidewater, OR.
My color for 2012 is a rich orange/red color.
Ironically, I went to the Pantone website to see if I could find the color number for you, and the 2012 color of the year is “tangerine tango” – a rich orange/red color. Hmm!
So is it my color, or am I just subconsciously noticing it more because it’s trendy? Haha.
Thanks for doing this, and happiest of new years to you!
Bridget, please forgive me! I had Tangerine Tango as my colour, and I posted on January 1, but something’s gnawing at me, clawing at me (not beavers or buzzards) to change it Blue Iris.
I ALWAYS go into some kind of altered state that feels like a deeper me when I’m around Dutch irises. Sorry for changing …
http://www.photoshopsupport.com/photoshop-blog/07/2008/pantone-color-of-the-year-2008.html
I love what they said about it on the webpage I found it on.
“As a reflection of the times, Blue Iris brings together the dependable aspect of blue, underscored by a strong, soul-searching purple cast. Emotionally, it is anchoring and meditative with a touch of magic.”
Thanks for this great thing you’re doing Bridget!
