For the last fortnight, we've ran a poll on this site to find out when colour best reflects the mood of our nation in 2009.

Well, the results are in, and nearly 26% of you say that 'Recessionary Blue' sums up Ireland this year. 

 

But it's not all doom and gloom.

 

Almost 22% voted 'Calm Green', and though 18% went for 'Angry Red', 12% told us 'Mellow Yellow', while 15% plumed for the very optimistic 'Hopeful White'.

 

...and the least said about the 7% who say that 2009 is 'Pitch Black', the better!

 

So there we have it. Looks like there's reasons to be cheerful amongst all those blues. 

 

And for 7% of you, might I suggest Little Black Dress from our Indulgence range?
