Was Pantone Right All Along About This Once-Reviled Color?

Each year, the color experts at Pantone make a pick for Color of the Year. Sometimes their selections are right on the money--in 2016, they correctly predicted the rise of Millennial pink. Other choices seem a bit...odd. 2014's Radiant Orchid wore out its welcome fast, and while it's a lovely color, I'm still kind of at a loss as to what to do with Ultra Violet. But by far the biggest head-scratcher of recent memory was 2015's Marsala.
