True blue Bill: If Clinton has to appear before the Senate this month, Leatrice Eiseman says he should wear navy blue. ``Blue is the color of credibility, constancy con·stan·cy n. 1. Steadfastness, as in purpose or affection; faithfulness. 2. The condition or quality of being constant; changelessness. Noun 1. and truth, the color most Americans associate with dependability and loyalty,'' said Eiseman, a color psychology expert. The president should avoid a red or a red-purple tie, she warned, as ``these colors speak of sensuality.'' As executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, in Moonachie, N.J., Eiseman researches the associations consumers make with colors and predicts their seasonal selling power. She was one of the first to say that gray would be the best-selling color last fall (it was), pegging it as ``the logical, nonthreatening shift away from black.'' Pink, the color everyone's eyeballing as the hip new hue, will be a big hit for spring because it taps into a national feeling of optimism. ``Pink not only makes you feel good, it makes you feel better,'' she said. ``Pink soothes. It's nurturing. It has a softening touch. Our studies show that men have far less objection to wearing pink and being surrounded by pink than ever before.'' For the first year of the next century, Eiseman picks blue - specifically, a sky-blue color she calls (what else?) millennium blue - as the winner. ``Blue brings up feelings of the universe, and it makes the unknown a little less frightening,'' she said. ``The sky, which is a presence in our daily lives, is always there. That's the dependability factor of blue. The Earth can shake under our feet, but so far the sky has not fallen.''
