BACKGROUND: Every year, Pantone (the leading worldwide color authority) chooses a #ColorOfTheYear to represent certain periods by analyzing and anticipating global trends, attitudes and events in order to select a specific hue that captures, highlights and even influences the relationship of color and culture. 

Similarly, each year UFC® co-founder, color expert and storyteller Laurie Spellman breaks-down what the C.O.Y  means in the context of beauty, makeup and larger themes in fashion – by analyzing and understanding the data so you don’t have to.
