Pantone Makes Me Feel Better

















Color is everything. Color has a name. Color is spelled wrong.
This is a black and white world with or without colors, but I've got this Pantone color chart that helps sort out the Maroon from the Rubine, the Red from the other Red, and puts Teal in a place it doesn't deserve.
Why does it make me happy? Because I like the squares.
I like that they are self contained. They keep a respectful distance and still manage to be complimentary. They don't have to get mixed up, but if they do it can turn out well... or sometimes you get Teal.
Black is awesome, by far the most colorful square. But it can also make you do things you shouldn't.  Beige does not look good on me, so I don't like it on anyone. Dark Blue is the kind of color that gives Brown a bad name. Royal Blue is absurd and ought to be thrown overboard. Orange is fine as long as it isn't 1974. Greens are just great on walks. Burgundy looks OK in a wine glass but nowhere else.  Yellow is really only there to get with Blue and make Green.  And Purple, well that is one badass Pantone and I think we all know why. As for all the Random Reds, where would Roses be without them? Beware of the Metallics, they get a high number but don't really earn it.  And then there's White... It's what makes the world what it is, along with Black. What a bitch.
