I am going to tell you something that I’m okay with admitting. I’m a bit of a dork. I am. I was the yearbook Editor-in-Chief for two years in college, and I loved it. That lead me to my first job in the publishing industry and eventually lead me to being a media advisor for college students. I love paper, I love publishing, I love the digital side of publishing, but I have a true love for design and color. Because of this love of color, I own books like Colorstrology that tell me what my Pantone color is and what is says about me (Because of my birthday I am Pantone 16-1454, Jaffa Orange by the way). I also have a fountain pen that has Pantone colors wrapped around it, my students who worked in print media always liked that about me. So I was pleasantly surprised not only to find Pantone on on Twitter but to find out they had other cool products that I would love.
Since I am heading back to graduate school again (can we say Doctorate?), I am elated about the Pantone Universe Messenger Bag. It comes in six different colors but of course green is my favorite. I also think their coffee mugs are cute too, but they only sell them in sets and not individually. Of course, this is only something that can be appreciated by a color officianado (cough – dork – cough) such as myself.
Now if they just made Pantone nail polishes, my life would be complete.

You are rococco red, pantone 18-1652, the color seems appropriate. Check out your description and let me know if it’s true: http://www.colorstrology.com/colorstrology_sniffer.html
