The PANTONE 19-1557 Chili Pepper Dynasty is Over!
It’s a happy day for us fans of purplish blue. While many expected that last year’s Pantone Color of the Year Award winner, PANTONE 19-1557 Chili Pepper, was going to be dynasty for several years to come, our beloved PANTONE 18-3943 staged a late comeback and took the coveted award for 2008. Congrats to the entire family of blue colors, I know this is a happy day for more than just Smurfs. It’s been a long time coming!
Pretty stupid, right?
Hold on, did I just make a blog post about a New York Times article on a Pantone color? Hmm. It appears you’ve tricked us all again, PR industry.
