Pantone's new color swatches.

We all have our favorite color, whether it is our Colorstrology color or the color of our favorite shirt. But now our options have expanded. Pantone released 175 new hues to their collection this month, bringing the total to 2,100 shades.

According to Pantone, the color choices were made so that all color families included:

  • A broader range of nuanced neutrals and mid-tones
  • An increased number of vibrant brights
  • Many complex hues with greater depth and intensity
  • More subdued and smoky variations of popular colors

With delicious additions like Agave Green, Lemon Meringue, Tangerine Tango, Ganache, Cinnamon Stick and Marmalade, the line-up is rich.

Ever since Pantone originally released their 1,001 colors in 1985, designers have looked to the company for direction in color trends. In a video release, Pantone maker and designer Jonathan Adler says colors are like an "instantly accessible over-the-counter anti-depressant."

Does color affect your mood? What colors make you happy? Sad?
