# Color-Based Calendars Pantone Shades to Track the Days By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-12-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-calendar References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/17303/) & [stokkeaustad](http://www.stokkeaustad.com/projects.php?image=/Projects/1) This [Pantone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-x-pantone) Calendar by StokkeAustad is a beautiful visual representation of the year. Each day, you just pull off that date's [Pantone shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-capsule-signature) off the calendar. If you look closely in the second picture, you'll see that the Pantone Calendar is quite cleverly arranged. Winter segues into spring with appropriate hues--blue to green and yellow. And spring segues into the bitter summer heat with fiery orange and red tones. **Implications** - In today's society, many consumers are often overwhelmed with tedious day-to-day responsibilities and hectic schedules, leaving little time for pleasure or entertainment. Businesses that can provide amusing ways to help individuals stay organized in today's fast-moving society will definitely appeal to many and see large returns. Consumers will be willing to invest in a company that provides even the briefest break or escape from they otherwise mundane day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Color-based Calendars:** Create calendars that incorporate colors as visual representation of time. - **Pantone Tracking:** Integrate Pantone color system to keep track of days and seasons. - **Seasonal Sequencing:** Arrange colors in sequence to represent seasonal changes and shifts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Stationery:** Create innovative stationery products that incorporate colors as a means of tracking time. - **Interior Design:** Integrate Pantone colors into seasonal home decor and design. - **Marketing:** Use Pantone tracking to create seasonally themed marketing campaigns and promotions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Neutral Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-x-pantone.md) - [Mocha-Colored Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-brand-x-pantone.md) - [Color-Informed Hospitality Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-x-mandarin-oriental.md) - [Colorful Emotion-Evoking Decor Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-home-and-pantone.md) - [Color-Centric Underwear Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanky-panky-x-pantone-color-of-the-year.md) - [Color-Themed Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tealeaves-x-pantone.md) - [Flipping Mechanical Desktop Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnomon-perpetual-flip-calendar.md) - [Intertwined Marble-Made Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noova-calendar.md) - [Monochromatic Lunar Event Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-naps-lunar-calendar.md)
