With the close of 2022 came the Pantone "forecast" announcement of the new Color of the Year for 2023. Now ... If you're new around here, you may not be familiar with my Pantone gripe. The good news is, you can read more about it over here. The, uhm, other news is that you will very quickly discover how wordy I am. I'd apologize, but honestly? I clearly needed to get all of that off my chest, like, it can't be healthy to hold that much animosity for the color equivalent of groundhog's day -- A harmless holiday(?) that means nothing, but also kind of something..?
