It's that time of year again -- when Pantone picks its "Color of the Year" -- and the color for 2022 is "Very Peri," a shade of periwinkle. Information is HERE.
Pantone, headquartered in Carlstadt, NJ, is a company best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS) used in a variety of industries to support the management of color from design to production, in physical and digital formats.
We here at the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum (dedicated to promoting the life and works of Emmett Lee Dickinson, Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request) have published posts in past years about "Color of the Year" selections. You can find our past posts (including this one) HERE.
This year's choice of "Very Peri" was interesting because Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem from 1853, "Oh the World they've colored" (below on the left) is about the concept of choosing a "color of the year," and in the poem he predicts the selection of periwinkle. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "On the World you colored" (below on the right).
