Pantone’s 50 Years of Color [Infographic]

Pantone’s value is supposedly related to how well the company analyzes the various nuances of hue and tone and shade, but what matters most about the colors we wear is how we wear them — that is, how we combine them with neutrals. For example, that collection of Eighties brights below looks more muted and washed out than the actual style of the period, and that’s because there’s no black pictured, no shiny sequins or studs.
