We talked about a few design guidelines for using color, plus color nomenclature and color spaces, including RGB, HSB, CMYK and Pantone. Full notes: 14 Color

Jason McGrath commented on the previous lecture w.r.t Pantone:

Today (3/2/16) you touched on how industry tends to manufacture products in colors that follow Pantone’s color of the year. Even more so, Pantone publishes a seasonal color planner which can be very handy for designers who need to their products to align with current trends. Designers who don’t use this type of insider forecast tend to benchmark yesterday’s fashion. Here’s the link to Pantone’s latest (and soon to be out dated) planner:

But using the planner requires a subscription costing…$500?
