The New Jersey-based company, a subsidiary of X-rite, picks a new color every year based on the opinions of fashionistas as well as insiders from music, travel, movies and technology. Radiant orchid won the honor in 2014, while emerald was the top choice in 2013. The color for 2015 was marsala, “a naturally robust and earthy wine red.”

2016 is the first year that the company has announced TWO colors of the year.
