While various news sources and talking heads spend this December neatly packaging 2007 into a series of person of the year awards and top ten lists, the Pantone Color Institute has taken the bold step of prognosticating 2008, as it is announced that the color of the year 2008 will be Iris Blue. We here at The Bocker have been using Iris Blue, or Pantone No. 18-3943, in our design scheme since our inception and believe that based on this announcement, we are primed for and excellent 2008.
Experts at Pantone say that Iris Blue combines the reliable aspects of blue with the soul-searching elements of purple. Sounds like a good fit with the overall mentality of The Bocker.
Last year’s color of the year was Chili Pepper Red, which clearly does not mesh will with our publication’s overall emotion or humors.
This story and lovely color samples come from the New York Times and the Pantone Color Institute.

Ok, so after getting a better look at it, we don’t use Iris Blue anywhere. Well, we use other blue so thats good enough.
