 Since 2000, Pantone has declared a particular "Color of the Year" - the company began in New Jersey in the 1950's as a commercial printing company.  They are best known for their Pantone Matching System, "a proprietary color space," used in graphic design, fashion, printing, and manufacturing. For the second time in 20 years, they've chosen two hues: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating (Yellow). "A marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting." Off-White Prada Dior Monochrome Pantone
