PaperHelp.org Review: Essay Writing Service That Can Survive ChatGPT, and Here Is WhyIn the rapidly evolving educational landscape, where technology continues to reshape traditional practices, the rise of AI-driven language models like ChatGPT has sent ripples of disruption across various industries.

At Home: And the 2023 Color of the Year is … light, dark, warm and cool

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:54:09 GMT

It’s a gimmick. Yet I always fall for it.Every year at this time paint companies announce their (cue the drumroll) Color of the Year, or COTY, as insiders call it. They roll out the paint color they most want you to roll on your walls — or ceilings or cabinets. Though I have never actually painted anything a COTY, I eagerly await these announcements, which are like the Oscars for color.Except, unlike the Oscars, COTYs are not chosen in retrospect. Rather, color judges look at what is going on in the world ─ socially, artistically, politically ─ to divine what will be the next most-coveted color, the one consumers will feel like living with or in.Whether COTYs accurately predict trends is hard to say. However, what’s is clear, and more interesting to me than any single paint company’s COTY, is what all the collective COTYs in a given year say about future (and past) color trends.Related ArticlesHome and Garden | When lightning strikes, will your house be ready?
