Clouded judgment? Why Pantone's colour of the year is causing controversy

I mean come on 🙄... Can't Pantone just pick a colour without all the drama? Cloud dancer is literally just white... How hard can it be to choose a cool or warm tone?! 😂 And what's with all these interpretations about "quiet luxury" and white supremacy?! It feels like people are reading way too much into it 🤷‍♀️. Can't we just enjoy a nice neutral colour without having to dive down the rabbit hole of social commentary? 🙄
 
🤔 I gotta say, I'm a bit torn about this whole cloud dancer thing... I mean, on one hand, I think Paddy O'Donnell has a legit point about how it could add some warmth to interior design 🏠💡 But then I started thinking about Gabrielle's point about it being like a dog-whistle for white supremacists 🚨👀 And that just kinda made me feel uneasy.

I don't know, maybe I'm just overthinking this whole thing... but isn't the Colour of the Year supposed to be all about inspiring creativity and self-expression? Instead, we're having this huge debate about whether it's too "clean" or "neutral"... shouldn't we be pushing for something that challenges our perspectives and makes us feel uncomfortable, you know? 😬 Like, remember when they first introduced that bright pink colour a few years ago? That got people talking! 💗

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is, let's not get too caught up in the marketing speak... let's use this Colour of the Year thing as an opportunity to actually think about what we want our world to look like. 🌎💡
 
I'm so done with this colour trend 😒. I think Pantone is trying to push some kinda "clean" aesthetic but honestly it just looks bland 🤢. My kid's room was painted white when she was tiny, now that she's older she thinks it's boring 💔. What about all the gorgeous colours that can bring warmth and energy to our lives? I mean who needs a colour that's just gonna sit there looking blank and boring all day? 😴
