This is kind of silly but I work in printing so I found it pretty neat

Prince has finally been granted his own hue of purple

Prince’s estate and the Pantone Color Institute have teamed up to honor him with his very own hue of purple called “Love Symbol #2”—a nod the thing he changed his name to in the ‘90s. As explained by Refinery 29, this particular purple, which was designed to match Prince’s custom Yamaha piano, will now be the standardized purple for all Prince-related things in the future.
