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

Each color has its own meaning. Each of them affects the emotional background of a person, can inspire both good and bad associations. Hues and tones in a variety of colors. There are specialists and whole companies that analyze them and experiment with combinations of various shades.

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

Pantone Color Institute is a company that brought together experts who are well versed in colors and conduct an extensive annual analysis of the political and economic state of the world. They study the behavior of people, their habits, new trends in art, music and art. After a thorough and in-depth analysis, the institute voiced its choice of color, for example, in the past in 2018, a bright shade of violet — ultraviolet — was named a trend color.

The reason for such a respectful attitude of large fashion design industries and well-known publishers to Pantone is simple - this 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 easy to find the right color.
