Color, Pop Culture
Could it be pure coincidence or did the Simpsons really predict the Pantone color of the year ten years in or row?

"Having just celebrated its 30th anniversary on December 17th, The Simpsons is the longest running animated series ever. One of the things that may have kept the show going is its uncanny ability to predict major global events. From Donald Trump’s presidency to the FIFA corruption scandal in 2015, there’s many things that The Simpsons has eerily predicted. But whether intentional or not, it seems they may have also had something to do with the last 10 years of Pantone Color of the Year winners.

"While collaborating with Aspire Doors, head designer at Boom Online, Pete Bingham discovered that the Simpson’s living room plays host to every single one of the Pantone color of the year winners from 2010 to 2019. As a result of this discovery, Pete set about recreating this well-loved and iconic setting in photoshop using the winning colors. since this discovery, the Pantone Color of the Year for 2020 has also been released – ‘classic blue’. And who should have the most noteworthy blue hair on tv?.. you’ve guessed it, Marge Simpson."
