I was interviewed by reporter Alex Janin from the Wall Street Journal about Color of the Year selections and the abundance of companies declaring color announcements. Ultimately it’s a great marketing tool for any organization working with color — plus it gets people talking about color, so that is wonderful and one of my favorite topics to discuss.

After following the Pantone announcements and predicting potential colors for many years, it was great to be connected with such an authority in journalism. For the past two years, I’ve independently designed my own products featuring the past two colors of the year (technically three colors, because in 2021 there were two colors selected).
Here are the products I’ve designed inspired by Pantone’s Color of the Year, click on the links below to consider purchasing:
2020, Classic Blue — Blue Rose 1.0 enamel pin (sold out), Blue Rose 2.0 enamel pin

2021, Illuminating Yellow + Ultimate Gray — Bee acrylic pin
2021, Illuminating Yellow — Banana Bandana™ (Fashionable Scarf Neck Covering)
