Pantone Color of the Year, 2016

Back in May of 2015, we wrapped our Color Seminar semester with predictions for Pantone’s Color of the Year 2016. Having spent 15 weeks discussing not only the application and management of physical color, but also color’s role in culture, it is fascinating that Pantone may be taking their cue from what is heard on the street as much as what is seen.

As follows are predictions from our course. Jenna was close with Carisean… greens and their color wheel neighbors led the pack otherwise.
