Infographic: PANTONE Looks Back At Iconic Color Moments Of Past 50 Years

To celebrate PANTONE’s 50th anniversary, the color authority created an infographic that traces iconic moments in color of the last five decades.



In the infographic entitled ‘Celebrate Color’, it highlights colors that expressed the attitudes and emotions of the times in history—from ‘The Psychedelic ‘60s’ that was filled with Hot Pink, Lemon Chrome and Bright Violet, to ‘The Expressive ‘00s’ of Lavender Aura, Mimosa and Cerulean.



The informative piece also breezes through PANTONE’s ‘Colors of the Year’ since it started in 2000, and the top colors in social media for 2012: red, blue and green.



‘Celebrate Color’ infographic is handy for designers who want to channel various eras from the last 50 years in their work.
