decades of color

decades of color

As a graphic designer, I am constantly keeping an eye on the latest color trends and nobody knows color better than Pantone!

This year, Pantone celebrates its 50th anniversary and they are in full celebration mode.  Check out the chart below to see the color trends from the past 50 years.  What decade of color combo do you love?

Every year, Pantone picks a color of the year.  I absolutely LOVE 2013’s color “Emerald” – in fact, as I am writing this post, I just happen to be wearing a hoodie that exact color!   I wonder what 2014’s color will be?

To celebrate Earth Day today, I think I will go to my DVD collection.  If you have never seen BBC’s Planet Earth, they are a must see.  Heck, even if you watched them when they were released almost ten years ago, you should go back and watch them again.  Truly spectacular!

And how about some Earth Day freebies!  Caribou Coffee will give you a free cup of coffee today when you bring in your own mug!  AND, go give them a like on Facebook….they will plant a tree for every new “like” that they get for this Earth Month!
