🟤 Colorscope – Brown is a frame-by-frame animated short that explores the emotional and cultural significance of Pantone’s 2025 color of the year. Inspired by CNN’s Colorscope series, the piece reinterprets brown as a warm, grounding color—found in nature, skin, memory, and everyday life. Hand-drawn visuals bring out its quiet strength and understated beauty.
