Every year in December, Pantone, the world-wide authority on colour announces the coming years colour. And every year it’s met with mixed reactions. The Pantone Colour of the Year 2018 was no different. Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple, was met with surprise, excitement and in some cases passionate disapproval.
A few weeks ago Pantone announced it’s Colour of the Year for 2017, Greenery, to mixed reviews. What I love about the colour of the year announcement is the incredible thought that goes behind each year’s choice and how it opens us to consider colours we would have written off. I must admit when I first saw this year’s choice, I thought there was no way I could see myself incorporating it into a space, but as the colour has started to emerge in fashion and home decor, I have to say I’m warming up to it.
It’s that time of year again – when Pantone, the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for design industries, reveals the colour of the year. Shockingly, for the first time ever, they announced two colours of the year – Rose Quartz, a pretty pink and Serenity, a bright periwinkle blue.
