Blue Iris is the official color of 2008. I just found that out. Of course, I didn’t even know that there was an official color for each year. I guess the 2007 official color was Chili Pepper Red. I am sure that knowing the official color will help me make my fashion decisions in the future.

But, more to the point, who decides on these colors and who gave them the authority to make these decisions? If there was a vote taken, I wasn’t included. Is the official color good for the whole world or just the US?

I wonder if there is an official flavor of ice cream for the year?
