The Language of Color, the Color of Cash
Have you ever wondered why, every year, the merchandises in different stores seems strangely color-coordinated? One year, lavender man’s shirts seem to be everywhere, no matter what the brand. The next year, the hot color might be turquoise or lime green. It is as if all the designer met secretly to pick the season’s hues. In fact, this phenomena is real, but it is color-trend experts, not designers, who pick the next new colors. One of the most famous color-trend company is Pantone. Each year, Pantone selects several color palettes for its long list of client-DKNY, Apple Computer, Pottery Barn, Nike, Kitchen Aid, and more.
Pantone is known for its 1,757 colors, including twenty-seven shade of white. Chances are that the pale yellow of that kitchen mixer and matching toaster in the store window is a Pantone shade. Those gray and moss green sheet and towels stacked on a department store shelves may well be colors by Pantone. The company’s laboratories create and standardize a formula for every shade. Each of the special color that help sell a brand is kept top-secret. IBM is known as “Big Blue,†after its color, mixed from two Pantone shades. Barbie pink is a trademarked Pantone color, and the jewelry store Tiffany is now working with Pantone to trademark the famous robin’s egg blue of its bags, box, and medium ads.
At their annual meeting, Pantone’s color forecasters consider many criterion. Sand and pale blue are soothing earth tones in times of stress. Red is exciting and daring; yellow is uplifting. During war years, patriotic colors do well, as do traditional colors like colonial blue and burgundy. Color is a language that peoples respond to, weather they are aware of it or not. Pantone is banking on it.
