1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. It seems that every dictionary has 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: had its word of the year. We've had Ai Slop, 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: We've had dare I say at six seven, we've had 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: all of that. We've now had Pantone release the color 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: of the Year. Pan Tone is a color institute. They 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: every year select the color of the year. In the past, like, 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: for example, last year, mocker Moose I thought he was 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: a wrestler. That was color of the year. Presumably peach 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: fuzz the year before, I've shaved off my chin. Every month, 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: we've had tangerine tango. In the past, we've had living coral. 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: So these these are specifically chosen to be color of 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: the year, which I'm sure is very influential in interior design. 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. This year, are you ready? 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: Has gray been in there? 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: Because everyone loves gray lately gray car I know, but 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: it just wouldn't The thing is, it wouldn't be called 17 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: It'd be fifty shades of shading or something. It wouldn't 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: just be called gray. So this year, are you ready 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: a drum roll? 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: Please? 21 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: This year's color of the Year is cloud Dancer, which 22 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: is white white. And this is what they have said 23 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: about it a lofty white, neutral whose air rated presence 24 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: acts as a whisper of calm and peace in a 25 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: noisy world, et cetera, et cetera, A billowy white imbued 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: with serenity. It invites true relaxation and focus. I thought 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: you put on your walls and allowing the mind to 28 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: wander and creativity to breathe, et cetera. So cloud, have 29 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: a look. It's just to my eye white. Yeah, because 30 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: my wife had a car and it was arctic white 31 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: and I love that. Real excuse me, that is not 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: cloud dancing. You know, there's fifty shades of white. There's 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: a lot of water, of course there. Ah. This though, 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,639 Speaker 1: has not been without its controversy. You wouldn't think color 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: of the Year could stir people up, But have a 36 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: listen to this woman. Her name is Darling Marcel, her 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: real name is Kathleen. She's a jewelry des she studies color, 38 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: she studies art, and she's furious that Pantone has chosen 39 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: this color. 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: But Pantone is a multimillion dollar business who deals in 41 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: the meanings of color. They are color experts and know 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: exactly what different colors feel like, and imply white neutral, 43 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: colors and minimalism have all long been on the side 44 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: of racism. The original intent of minimalism was to a 45 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: race culture. Many non white cultures are full of color 46 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: and ornate designs of scale, minimalist all white designs have 47 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: long signified wealth status. 48 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, so she's saying, and it goes on for ages. 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: She says, this is a dog whistle. This is reflecting 50 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: what people are seeing on the streets. We're trying to 51 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: get rid of people of color by choosing. 52 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 2: Color. 53 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: I know, well, last year was Maka Moose. That's what 54 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: she's saying is the world has changed in this year. 55 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: It's white, Morga Moose last year white this year. I 56 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: thought this was just a hate chart. Silly old me. 57 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: The only one, the only white that you need to 58 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: know about is the white of Richie Benno's jacket, as 59 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: told by the Twelfth Man, the cream one, the bone, 60 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: the off white, the white, the ivory on the bige. 61 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: Love Love. I could argue about that too. I could 62 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: listen to that all day.
