I recently found out that Pantone picks a color as the "color of the year". For 2016 they picked 2 colors, serenity and rose quartz (aka baby blue and light pink). Normally I just head to the mall to see what's in. Well, when you paint with blue and pink, ummm, it turns out purple.
Apparently they announce the color in December of the preceding year. So even though I occasionally think I know what I'm doing, or I'm really in the loop; I find out that I'm about 5 months behind on this pertinent information. Purple is my color of the year anyway, so there.
