Pantone Color of the Year 2023

Melania was ahead of her time with her red holiday trees at the White House.

It's all bullshit, here is what they announced last year - color of the year 2022, have you seen that in 2022? No, obviously no one cared!

Love it.

Melanie didn’t have anything in this shade. Get real.

Stick to shampoo!

I don't like this shade of red.

I dig the 2022 periwinkle, my sheets are that color so I guess I am in fashion.

Pantone really is bullshit.

As a child, I could never remember the difference between fuschia & magenta, so I just thought of the vowels in the two words: fUschia has more pUrple, while magEnta has more rEd.

Of course, this is DL, and everyone already knew that at birth. Carry on.

Melania is one of those rare people who live up to all of their criticisms and perceived shortcomings.

Makes me think of taffy.

Or raspberry sorbet.

I prefer Benjamin Moore’s Raspberry Blush, I guess 2023 is seeing red, or reds as the case might be.

Not to be outdone, Farrow & Ball have BAMBOOZLE!

I think its ugly and looks like the color that medical text books use when drawing the spleen.

Magenta is a revolting color.

Might be a challenge to integrate that colour into home decor. Perhaps as a throw pillow...

R7: "Fuchsia." Not intuitive, but correct. After a German botanist named Fuchs.

Looks like the kind of red that can't be matched among different materials.

Hot.

I know I'd seen this color before.

This is a gorgeous shade of red. Melania's stuff was all Crayola brand Magic Marker red, nothing like this.

I don't know that anyone really cares about Pantone's color of the year beyond it being something light and fun to talk about online, which is fine, but also I feel like last year's awful color (and I say that as someone who usually likes shades of periwinkle) was destined to be ignored.

Very true r17, I think this would have to be matched with complimentary colors of the same tone. It's got a gray tone underneath that borders on a smoky purple and that's going to make it difficult to use with anything but neutrals.

Cam we have The Sexiest Man Alive photographed in a Viva Magenta jockstrap before I decide if I like the color?

Its a pretty color, especially paired with yellow ochre.

And then applied, r23, to the chien-chauds!

What are you talking about R24?

R2 Dear, just because that color didn’t trickle down into some tragic causal corner clearance bin yet for you doesn’t mean it has had no impact.

R14 = Blanche Devereaux

Thanks. I'm usually perfect, but not this time! Seriously though, I'll remember it this way, R16.

R25, That's a ketchup and mustard combo, like for hot dogs!

Is it grape or aubergine?
