Trendy Pantone Colors

Colors play a big role in life. In nature, some colors of animals or plants can warn of danger or increase the chances of survival and reproduction. Human life also depends a lot on the surrounding flowers.

Each color has its own meaning. Each of them affects the emotional background of a person, can evoke both good and bad associations. There are many shades and tones in color schemes. There are specialists and entire companies who analyze them and experiment with combinations of certain shades.

Recently, in the fashion industry, in publishing houses, designers have developed the concept of "color of the year" or "trend colors". But who dictates the best shades and combinations to the whole world? The Pantone Institute is a company that has been successfully operating in the market for over half a century. We are all familiar with Pantone from computer programs, photo editing applications: this name sounds everywhere, where you can come across a palette of shades and tones.

The Pantone Color Institute is a company of color-savvy experts who conduct extensive annual analyzes of the political and economic state of the world. They study the behavior of people, their habits, new trends in art, music and creativity. After careful and in-depth analysis, the institute announces its choice of color, for example, last 2018, a bright shade of violet - ultraviolet was named the trend color.

The reason why the major fashion design industries and well-known publishers are so respectful of Pantone is simple - the company not only created a color palette, but also gave each shade its own number and name. When using professional software or creating a design, this solution makes it easier to find the right color. Also, this institute periodically publishes options for various color combinations and forms the right taste among designers and people who work directly in these areas.

In the color world, there are 3 primary colors: blue, red and yellow. They are considered to be the main ones for one reason: no color combinations, mixing in various proportions can form the above paints. The Pantone Institute's color table system comes in two flavors.

• RGB... It translates as red - red, green - green, blue - blue. This is the color rendering of the displays. Obtaining a variety of shades is based on mixing three colors: when mixing all at once, white is obtained, the absence of color is black.

• CMYK... This program is more varied and has more opportunities for obtaining new shades, it is most often used by designers. The Pantone Paint Chart includes many different color combinations and far surpasses its range of mixing applications.

Such a concept as basic colors in a wardrobe, design or interior is a certain color foundation that, despite fashion trends, we keep in mind. These are mainly black and white colors: the first is more often used to emphasize solidity, severity and seriousness, and the second color is considered festive. Also, gray, blue, brown and beige can be considered basic: such paints are much more successful in creating a tandem with other shades.

Every year, for the seasons spring-summer, winter-autumn, the Institute of Colors issues top ten current color solutions, for example, for the winter season of this year were chosen the following colors.

• Green quetzal. This is a very deep shade of green, quite dark, mixed with blue (where blue, in proportion, takes the lion's share of the combination).
