This Pantone Calendar by StokkeAustad is a beautiful visual representation of the year. Each day, you just pull off that date's Pantone shade off the calendar.
If you look closely in the second picture, you'll see that the Pantone Calendar is quite cleverly arranged. Winter segues into spring with appropriate hues--blue to green and yellow. And spring segues into the bitter summer heat with fiery orange and red tones.
