Pantone has been around since 1963, but they have only been forecasting their famous Pantone Color of the Year since 2000. In honor of their 50th anniversary, we’re taking a look back at all of the Colors of the Year, and taking a sneak peak at what’s coming up in 2014!
In addition to the overall Pantone Color of the Year, Pantone also announces the color to look for in Spring of that year. Next year, the color for spring is Dazzling Blue.
Dazzling Blue has been dubbed “facebook blue”, which sounds surprisingly blah; however, the sheen of the velvet blue sofa above really takes “facebook blue” to a whole new level. Maybe what they meant to say is that Dazzling Blue is Facebook Blue with some Dazzle-we love it!
Happy 50th Pantone!
