pantone 520

January 25, 2008

i thought i should let you all know one of my favorite colors, pantone 520.

what is a pantone, you might ask?

a “pantone + number” is a simply genius way of categorizing color to make design and printing endeavors less complicated.  
so there are hundreds upon hundreds of pantones — all with a designated number to coordinate with the various hues. 
needless to say, as with all things, i have a favorite pantone.  
520 is simply the most amazing color.  it’s the perfect shade of purple — not too eggplant, not too dark, not too girly, not too majestic, it’s simply divine.
i will say, at this present time, i have a crush on all things black and white (hence my website, www.micamaydesign.com) but my true love lies with pantone 520.
i even write in a shade of pantone 520.  it’s pretty ridiculous.
