PANTONE 15-0343 Greenery was the colour of the year for 2017. Pantone colours is one of the significant industry standards for colours and colour integrity. They are there to make money, yes, but they are also there to set standards, create ideas, inspire design in a visual world and all of that is important with yarn and textile arts. It’s not just about fashion. It’s about creativity, complexity and visual appeal. Just think about it. How much of our world is determined by our visual experience and much of that is related to authentic colour and colour perception. The Pantone matching system is here on cal-print.com. Printed colours and digital colours are not identical. Colour charts can be used to get the best match which is important when you are trying to share visual information online. Next year’s Pantone colour is Ultra-Violet 18-3838. Alexis was already instinctively in touch with the colour world when she was spinning her clouds of lavender and purple last week. That is now a beautiful ultra violet skein!
