It's a great movie, Angela, definitely watch the whole thing. I wanted to know too and in their video they really didn't say how they chose it. I would imagine though there's a whole science behind it.

I love the clip you included! It was amusing, yes, but it also spoke directly to me! I haven’t seen the whole movie, but I’d say I would identify with Anne Hathaway’s character. But Meryl’s character makes it sparkling clear that there is no way to NOT participate in color and fashion. I’d be interested to know how Pantone decides each year. Fascinating!

Same here, Kim. I love it when clients send me the Pantone colors they want to use or are already using. Can’t wait to see how you use the color, keep us posted!

I LOVE the Pantone color system! So many times has that saved my bacon when I’m creating something!

And I really do love this color! My new branding is all in earth tones so I’ll have to see how this might fit in. Thanks!

I agree, wasn’t a big fan of the Orchid. This color is interesting because it goes back and forth between the red and the brown, there’s something warm and inviting about it.

And yes, I’m still laughing about the chicken.

I have always been intrigued by Pantones and the color of the year. I do love this Marsala. It almost has a chocolate feel to it, and in my opinion, it’s WAY better than last year’s Radiant Orchid. That looks like a very flat lavender to me. Oh well, to each his own of course. Color can be very personal. Thanks for this post. Now, I know that Marsala can be related to something besides chicken, and I never knew that before today!
