#24 - PANTONE COLORS OF THE YEAR | multifandom icons (25)

Dec 26, 2021 01:12

I don't know if you may have noticed that I like, strike that, love colors. Especially bold and vibrant ones. I enjoy working with them, combining them, matching the icon to a palette or a color. I don't think there is a color I don't like. Maybe brown. Ok, I have a few favorites and a chart of sorts in my mind. But that's neither here nor there.
So, unsurprisingly, the whole "Color of the Year" idea facinates me too.

Thus, about a year ago (right around when I was searching what the latest color of the year was), I had the idea of making an icon for each color that had been chosen so far. They were also 24 at the time, so I could put them in a 4x6 table. It seemed kinda like fate LOL

The idea was to make one every now and then in my free time. I just wanted to have fun with it without the added pressure of a deadline. I told myself "as long as I do it by this year, it's all good". Well, knowing myself and the fact that I tend to procrastinate everything, especially without clear deadlines, I should not have said it.

Therefore, of course, here we are. Almost at the end of the year. And, as was predictable, I made them all in the last week or so. Not surprising at all, really. But I'm glad I made them, since I was almost giving up before even starting.

In the meantime the color for the year 2022 also came out, but fortunately I could just make the table 5x5 instead!

If you're curious, I put the name of each color in the cut below the table, since they didn't fit well in it.

*2016 and 2021 have two colors

[unrelated(ish)]Also, I started watching Sons of Anarchy lately, it was a show I always thought about watching over the years but never did for some reason. I'm only at the beginning of season 3, but I like it so far. I wanted to make more icons about it. Soon.

And also, I'm very excited and happy that they decided to make another season of Dexter!. It was one of my top favorite shows, binge-watched it all in very little time, but I hated the ending. Highly unsatisfaying. And now that it continues, I have an excuse to maybe rewatch it sometime, ignoring the crappy ending! Anyway, I like what they're doing so far in the new season, but I'm also biased because I really loved it and I'm nostalgic. :')

[Side note: I don't know if anyone has ever done something like this before, if so, I personally haven't seen it]

Anyway, here are the pretty colors (ﾉ˘ᴗ˘)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
