Pantone - Color Of The Year 2008

[Jonny]

Pantone have announced the " Color Of The Year 2008 " - 8-3943 Blue Iris

MMMM Nice. :)



"From a color forecasting perspective, we have chosen PANTONE 18-3943 Blue Iris as the color of the year, as it best represents color direction in 2008 for fashion, cosmetics and home products," explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "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. Look for it artfully combined with deeper plums, red-browns, yellow-greens, grapes and grays"

Shall I order as much as I can now from the suppliers, or wait for our orders to roll in first?

I've just had my living room painted in 'Ivory' - damn! - I'm always out of fashion :-(

hmmm... disappointed. I don't recall being asked by Pantone for my vote on Color of the Year,.

I was firmly in the "Raleigh Saint Augustine Green" camp.
