Color Chart: Reinventing Color from 1950 to Today

We’ll admit that there have been times when we’ve wanted to chuck our color wheel out the window. We’ve stood in Home Depot and really tried to discern the different between antique, eggshell, and albino ferret white. So, we can certainly appreciate MOMA’s new exhibit (running through May 12th) which explores the early days of processed color; when artists like Warhol and Stella accepted Pantone’s domination and used the solid, sterile, industrial colors for their own subversive gains. The site is pretty brilliant as well, incorporating the aesthetic of the exhibit and giving a lot of room to explore the forty-four artists. It also kind of makes us hungry for Skittles.
