Pantone

Pantone is the self-proclaimed global color authority. It has released its 2018 color of the year. The color is Ultra Violet 18-3838, a dark blue violet, halfway between cobalt and periwinkle. I do not understand why they cannot just call it purple.

2015 Pantone Color

Marsala is the new color and, according to Pantone, Marsala enriches our mind, body, and soul, exuding confidence and stability. The color is a dusky burgundy that draws its name and its shade from the earthy Marsala wines of Italy. Its deep, reddish tones are reminiscent of cranberries, cackling fires, and comfortable sweaters of the winter season.

Color of the Year 2010

Turquoise. Pantone has announced their selection for Color of the Year for 2010, and the winner is Turquoise. Turqouise, according to the color mavens, "evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of well being.”


Real turquoise (the mineral) was treasured in antiquity for "natural protection against the powers of darkness" and derives its name from the custom of the Turks to wear one in their turbans to ward off the "evil eye".

The Color of the Year for 2009 was "Mimosa".
