2018 Color of the Year | Pad Patter 12.31

Am I the only one that doesn't understand this whole Pantone thing? I mean, I hear it talked about when the color is chosen and then I never really notice it again. Am I the only one ? Does some need to ?

I think they choose the colour, and sheep follow!! Hee Hee

@meterr you made me laugh so hard

I think it's so funny how opinionated we all are about colors here... go figure in a artsy scrapbooking forum we'd all have opinions about colors.

I personally love the color of the year and I think it's pretty much the first time ever that I've like the color they've pick. So I'm pretty much the anti-trend kinda gal! Lol!

I love purple!!! I wear it a lot and any kit with purple has my attention. However, I do not decorate with it - well almost. My Christmas tree is silver, white, and purple, but that is it.

When I was young, my siblings all decided that purple was also their favorite color. So I switched to orange to be unique. I was in my 30's before I realized that I could switch back to purple as my favorite.

My sister once bought a house where every room was some shade of lavender to purple; she repainted it.

And this might be a favorite kit, because you know purple...

I was inspired.... my Day 2 MOC

There was a post on a Scrapping Forum years ago, could have been here, could have been Scrap Orchard, about purple being the least used colour in scrap kits. I can't remember why, but it is still true today. Go to the store and have a look at the NEW 12/29 stuff. There is a significantly purple kit in there BUT the rest have none or very little purple in them.
Weird huh...

For me, I just think

I'm not much of a fan of purple...not in my clothes, or home, or even really in my scrapping, so I'm not sure how much I'll incorporate it in my life other than playing Purple Rain on repeat

Ditto @IntenseMagic !! Not a purple fan... but definitely a Prince fan!!

I love purple, but that particular color is... ick. Maybe as an accent, but not for a wall or anything else.

Sherwin-Williams paint has come up with their own color: Oceanside. I like it a whole lot better!

i am dying to change up our bedroom feature wall to this - i've been living with basically this pantone colour since 2011 i think and i'm pretty over it

ETA - realised you are both Jan's! Intense Magic's post is on my phone but I want Quilty Mom's blue instead!

I personally don't like any shade of purple. However, I've noticed it sneaking into a couple of kits I've bought recently and I guess I can work with it. Not a fan. There was a poem entitled, "When I'm old, I Shall Wear Purple". I think that warped me.

I know that poem!! One of my best friends and co-workers really LOVES purple and she kept that poem framed on her desk
