love the iconic styling of color with a white band and black text.
Classic language for those in the arts business that everyone can speak. You have to applaud something that has this lasting power and its shows no signs of slowing down.
Pantone makes my life simpler! Instead of getting mixed colour results on print jobs I can just point to a colour and voilà, the same every time.
Well, that's what I was going to say! (what Mirabelle said). Only she said it better. I love the colors!
I adore that Pantone made color a Universal Language. No worries to translate “Hot Pink” from English to, say, Polish. Just cite the number, it’s the same all over the World. So simple.
'Pink is the new black.' Color our world!
Well, I am not sure what I love most, but I sure love Pantone 191C, actually painted my nails yesterday hot pink with my wedding nail polish.
It seems all it ever does is rain here in Vermont. Cleaning up after TS Irene hasn't been fun either. But then you open a Pantone book and the world seems colorful and uplifting again. It's like bringing a rainbow home and finding reasons to smile despite the muck. Thanks for these posts, they've been fun!
I love that somehow Pantone knows what I love. When the release the color forecast for the coming year, I always think, Yes! That's perfect.
