Without reading your article and just looking at the design trends you curated, I feel like Pantone got it wrong, mostly.

I love your thorough explanation of recent design trends that are anything but white.

The white “trend” in interiors, fashion and design, is just a response to the over stimulation of looking at our screens all day.

Color drenching is the same response. With all of the notifications, emails, and reminders our brains are looking for a monotone look for attention restoration.

Great read for the designer, untrained eye, or trend exhausted!

I agree!

I find it rather amusing that Pantone chose a non-colour as colour of the year. Is it really a statement on over-stimulation or have they run out of good ideas?

The best way to address the digital deluge is to focus on quality rather than quantity, whether it’s content, designs, or trends.

Next time I open a bottle of wine, if its top is still in cork, I shall enjoy my 15 minutes of fame by sitting on it !
