Colorgraphical Word Wednesday
Welcome to this new series on Color Budz. What is it, you ask? Colorgraphical Word Wednesdays. . . because sometimes it helps to have color spelled out for you.
Generally speaking, color is subjective. Universally speaking, there are applicable axioms of color.
Colorgraphically speaking, here are examples of how to leverage the power of color and put the psychology of blue to work for you.

This Colorgraphical™ moment is the answer to one of our reader’s questions. It’s a great question. If I were to answer in a traditional manner, it would be a lot of words. So, I’m answering Mary’s question like this.
This is narrative #2 in the series of infographics showing you the closest color matches from top paint brands to Pantone’s 2012 color of the year, Tangerine Tango. This infographic features colors from Sherwin Williams. Enjoy!
Stunning tints, tones and shades of plums and purples inspired this Colorgraphical™ infographic. What’s so great about these hues is they are gender neutral. Many find a broad range of colors in this hue family appealing and well-suited to their personal color tolerance. How about you? Can you choose a favorite color from the ones featured?
Winter isn’t just about gray and white. This infographic shows you how the bold colors of winter can be easily integrated into your color schemes. There’s even room for Pantone’s Color of the Year 2012. Featuring colors from Dunn-Edwards’s The Perfect Palette.
End of the year is a good time for reflection. My first blog was called “Color Noodle” launched December, 2008. April 2010 I switched blogging platforms to WordPress and decided to change to a new design and name, Color Budz. Have a hankerin’ to change things up again.
Thanks for all the great feedback on the previously published Pantone Colors of the Year infographic. Received several requests to convert Tangerine Tango to popular paint brands. We’ll start with Benjamin Moore, first in the series. More color matches in more brands to come.
Pantone Color of the Year 2012 – 2000
