While Tezos is billing itself as the “green” blockchain due to its proof-of-stake bona fides, today it’s embracing a different color – “Very Peri blue.”

The periwinkle vibe is the winner of Pantone’s esteemed “Color of the Year” award for 2022, announced Wednesday.

But – in very 2021 fashion – Pantone, the developer of the modern color matching system, is releasing the color through a collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Tezos blockchain.

The collection will feature NFTs designed by artistPolygon1993, each utilizing the color in its artwork.

Pantone says it tapped Tezos as its blockchain of choice for being a “fast, secure, and energy-efficient” network, according to a press release.

“Creating a new color for the first time in the history of our Pantone Color of the Year educational color program reflects the global innovation and transformation taking place,” Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, said in a statement.

Tezos made headlines Tuesday when Ubisoft chose the blockchain to deployin-game NFTs into its “Tom Clancy: Ghost Recon” title for the first time. It sent XTZ, the native asset of the blockchain, flying.

While Very Peri blue is the first color Pantone has made into an NFT, it will not be the last.

A Tezos representative told CoinDesk that Pantone has further NFT plans in the works.

Block Chain Dungeon
Once upon a time... a little boy named Leo loved to paint, draw and experiment. He also loved to play with blocks and chains, which drew him again and again into the rooms of his friends Michel and Angelo. Often they also met in virtual rooms of Cryptovoxels, Decentraland, Somnium Space or Sandbox to create new inventions, read books about new technologies, or just swing the brushes. But on this day something gigantic happened. A good friend of Leo came to visit and brought his girlfriend Mona, who wanted a piece of Leo's art on her skin. This was the birth of the NFT's, as Leo developed Non Fungible Tattoos in the Block Chain Dungeon of Michel and Angelo. From that day on people from all over the world came to get NFT's from Leo or one of his students, like "Skeenee the rat", who controls the NFT machine with his laptop. A new age began.

From the original 151 monsters we know today, we thought - what would they actually look like if they were humanized? They are massive. They are muscular. They are ugly. They are Pokémen. Collect 'em all!
