Firstly, who is The PantonebrColor Institute, and why do they have so much influence? According to theirbrwebsite, ThebrPantone Color Institute is a consulting service within Pantone that forecastsbrglobal color trends and advises companies on color in brand identity andbrproduct development, for the application and integration of color as abrstrategic asset. In other words, they have a great deal of influence onbrpredicting and launching shifts in color focus in all realms of design.

“The Pantone Color of the Year has come to mean so much morebrthan ‘what’s trending’ in the world of design; it’s truly a reflection of what’sbrneeded in our world today,” says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the PantonebrColor Institute.

They take into account political and social trends, as well asbrthings like a renewed interest in space exploration and shifts in technology inbrtheir color focus. So, when you think of ultra violet, imagine a galaxy far,brfar away, intuition, inventiveness, spiritual guidance, and ultimatelybrnon-conformity and creativity.
