Can someone explain the significance of this for me? Is it a trubute, or a trademark? confuse

Let's not and say we did. But it does remind me of a bit of purple rain, and a bit more of the prince album.

I’m glad there’s now an official hue for anything official. And I like the shade because it’s not too red or too blue, it’s just right. Paisley Park is in your heart #PrinceForever 💜

Lovejunky	HOW Interesting ! Hiring them costs “tens of thousands of dollars,” though, so they’re almost never used by individuals. Until recently, only one person had his own Pantone color: hip-hop tycoon Jay Z, who enlisted them to create a pearl blue he’s used in his personal branding ever since. TrivialPursuit said:

They pretty much are. Red is 2 points off, blue and green is one off. I used Preview to sample it.
