Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, that's a color that I love so whoo hoo. I suppose this means that we'll be able to purchase many things in that color?

totally.
I like it too - just trying to find the hex code, actually. But I can't remember when this started making news on the Times?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just spent $1000 for furnace repairs. Which doesn't bother me so much because there is a warranty on the house. However, the problem was discovered during a regular furnace check and subsequent emergency call (after the furnace quit in subzero weather)--and I'll bet I'm going to have to fight tooth and nail to get the warranty company to pay this.
Their policy is to call them FIRST and then they dispatch one of their contractors to fix the problems. Only because we'd been doing regular maintenance (NOT covered) and that guy figured out the complex problem with the unit, we had them go ahead and fix it.
I called the warranty company and they did send their guy out--but he left because my guy figured out the problem after five hours of pulling individual parts out and testing them.
If they give me shit about this, I'm going to go ballistic.

No. 18-3943 - Pantone's "color for the year" (when did this start being a Thing? ... not just a PR thing, I mean.)
I imagine this is decided by having a wall covered in little Pantone color samples and then bringing in a fashion consultant who is blindfolded, turned around three times, and given a dart to throw at the Pantone covered wall.

try the cerulean from 2000. It was a good year for colors, they say.

Always Anti-fascist!
God, that sounds like a punchline..."What do you mean, Two Reindeer Mating?" And not in a good way. What the hell?
