I can finally sleep at night; Pantone has announced their 2010 color of the year, and it looks like it may have been inspired from a leisure suit.

From Pantone:

“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.”

(2009 color of the year, Mimosa is not happy about the success of Turquoise.)

Here’s one that I’ve been a little lazy on posting. I found it via one of my favorite blogs, FlowingData, and was initially created by Doogie Horner from Comic Vs. Audience.

You will instantly notice, however, that I’ve taken the liberty to invert the colors of this useful chart, instantly making it twice as more hardcore.

This, my friends, is why I’m such a successful graphic designer. [snark]

All my life- I’ve wanted a comprehensive chart to the cuts and variations of beef. Here it is, and I can finally sleep at night.

No matter how many times I see pictures like this, they’re still pretty awe-inspiring to me.

You know what else is pretty awe-inspiring to me? The fact that we landed on the moon…
