The wine-colored hue succeeds 2014’s Radiant Orchid as Pantone's pigment of the new year, which heavily influences everything from car colors to fashion to home decorating. link

Not too bad, I guess. I kinda like it.

Good one, himppu!

So where does color of the year come from? I've not heard of it before. Does this mean I have to change my color scheme yearly?

Does that mean I have to throw away my Radiant Orchid toaster oven? Oh, my.

I like Chicken Marsala too; with red wine mixed in, it does sort of have this color Wallace.
