Hey there, everybody.

It is Sunday, December 14th, and we can tell you what you're going to be wearing next year.

We can tell you what you're going to be decorating with next year.

Yes, this is one of my favorite announcements of the year.

It's Pantone's color of the year. You know I have been obsessed with colors, the names of colors.

In fact, it's something we've laughed about over the years. This is ridiculous. A color of the year.

Who gets to decide? No, this is something. It's supposed to be fun, but it's new. I am 100% learning that this was even a thing as of the past couple of weeks.

I don't know why I have always been obsessed with this, but Pantone Color Institute has been choosing an annual color of the year since 1999.

And maybe it's just because I was used to this being a part of local news and the news kicker and maybe I'm because I'm a girl and I like design and I like to think about what the

colored trends are.

Maybe it's all of that.

But I always get excited not just because they tell us what color is going to be the it color,

but how they go about doing it, how they describe it is always a hoot. They take this very seriously.

Who are they, by the way? What was Pantone? What do they do? Like what is their...

They're a color institute? I... What does that even mean? Like Crayola? Like they... No, not like Crayola. I just know that they study colors. They have, they name colors. People have paint colors, design colors. Is it a paint company? I don't know if it's a paint color. I just know that it's a color institute. Okay, so I didn't know there was this. I'm learning so much right now about this institute.

But please, continue.

So do you have any guesses what this?

Have you seen any headlines?

Do you have any guesses about what the color of the year is?

I will never be able to guess because you all, I say you all.
