The Propaganda of Pantone: Colour and Subcultural
A really great piece by @LOKIdesign about the influence of Pantone’s marketed Colour of the Year campaigns, i.e. “Mining the subcultural landscape and using their monopoly within the creative industries to propagate their colour properties to the world”, from the early 2000s’ Blue Iris to 2016’s Rose Quartz & Serenity, through an incredible selection of design and social trends such as #Seapunk #Vaporwave #RadicalSoftness…

It reminds me of the live projection mapping of the Japanese idol group: Perfume.
