who decides what the color of the year is
Pantone Since 2000,[18] the Pantone Color Institute declares a particular color "Color of the Year". Twice a year the company hosts, in a European capital, a secret meeting of representatives from various nations' color standards groups. After two days of presentations and debate, they choose a color for the following year; for example, the color for summer 2013 was chosen in London in the spring of 2012.[19] The color purportedly connects with the zeitgeist[citation needed]; for example, the press release declaring Honeysuckle the color of 2011 said "In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to ward off the blues."[20] The results of the meeting are published in Pantone View ($750), which fashion designers, florists, and many other consumer-oriented companies purchase to help guide their designs and planning for future products.[19]
New Year's Day (song) The lyric had its origins in a love song from Bono to his wife,[4] but was subsequently reshaped and inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement.[5] The bassline stemmed from bassist Adam Clayton trying to figure out the chords to the Visage song "Fade to Grey"[6] during a soundcheck.[7]
