After this year’s mocha mousse, I also expected something more vivid for the next year, but I like this white. Black and white are always classical and loved by all generations.

Having used pantone colors at work for ard 17 yrs, the specification tat i appreciated was the translation of pantone to CMYK, this Pantone color seems to be C=0,M=0,Y=0,K=0 so rlly useful for graphic designers/print artists~sarcasm~

not sure who it's really meant to be used by? LOL

There's no 'just white'!

Spoiler

It is indeed just white, but I wanted to sound like an art connoisseur at least once in my lifetime.

So fun old angry guy story. I took Art Appreciation as an easy class and the first essay was on "How an artist might use vertical lines to indicate "strength". I turned in the essay with one line that said, this is the stupidest assignment and concept I've ever heard of and I'll be dropping your class. I took film appreciation instead and it was fun.

boring as hell

tbh i get why it was chosen because everything these days is either white, grey or beige.. but still imo vibrant colors will forever be superior
