HOW TO SAFELY WATCH THE SOLAR ECLIPSE — EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE PATH OF TOTALITY

Most days we barely give the giant, searing-hot ball of plasma in the sky a second thought. 

That will change dramatically on Monday, August 21: when the total solar eclipse sweeps across the continental United States for the first time in nearly 100 years. 

If you're not careful, though, the sun can rapidly scorch your eyeballs: While the moon will at least partially block the sun for the entire nation, the glowing crescent left behind will still emit ultraviolet rays.

Pantone Names New Purple

New York, August 14, 2017 – The Prince Estate, alongside Pantone Color Institute™, the global color authority, announced today the creation of a standardized custom color to represent and honor international icon, Prince. The (naturally) purple hue, represented by his “Love Symbol #2” was inspired by his custom-made Yamaha purple piano, which was originally scheduled to go on tour with the performer before his untimely passing at the age of 57. The color pays tribute to Prince’s indelible mark on music, art, fashion and culture. 

Prince’s association with the color purple was galvanized in 1984 with the release of the film Purple Rain, along with its Academy Award-winning soundtrack featuring the eponymous song. While the spectrum of the color purple will still be used in respect to the “Purple One,” Love Symbol #2, will be the official color across the brand he left behind. 

“The color purple was synonymous with who Prince was and will always be. This is an incredible way for his legacy to live on forever,” said Troy Carter, Entertainment Advisor to Prince’s Estate.
