The Propaganda of Pantone

[John Bailey]

This is one of the most interesting reads I've had in ages. Dissecting
the "colour-industrial-complex" and how the 2016 'colour of the year'
co-opts a fascinating subcultural aesthetic I didn't know I knew until
I read this. Radical softness and very post-ironic emotional
expressiveness as political strategy, punched in the guts by Big
Colour.
