To honor late legend Prince, Pantone has released a new custom color: Love Symbol #2. Named after the singer-songwriter’s iconic emblem and inspired by his signature Yamaha piano and film, Purple Rain, the deep shade of purple perfectly captures the spirit of the master musician.
Printed color is different than real cloth. Allowing for this, here’s a sampling of purples you’ll see going forward. Think royal.
