PANTONE publishes a color at the start of each year to set the tone for the next 12 months. This year, they chose a bright lemon yellow (the color of this text) and a medium shade of gray (the color of this background). I am here to warn you: If this year is to go half as horribly as this color combo, we can expect a zombie apocalypse in the next few weeks.
PANTONE's skills in predicting the future have proven precise. Last year, they chose a peaceful ocean blue to represent 2020. The year turned out to be placid -- like the glassy waters of a 19-4052 Classic Blue lake in the early morning. The description of the color states that Classic Blue "instills calm, confidence, and connection," all qualities we've cultivated in the past year.
Given their power to change the course of the year, I hope for the sake of our wellbeing that PANTONE rescinds their colors and gives us a nice, unproblematic teal or lavender. This is my plea.
