According to Billboard, Pantone, an industry standard for all things color, has unveiled their latest shade, "Love Symbol #2," a deep purple fitting of the electric entertainer, who'd regularly ensconced himself and many associated items in the royal hue. The color was developed in partnership with The Prince Estate, which has only just named its heirs in the last few months (over a year since his death) and released the first posthumous album back in June with the arrival of an expanded deluxe edition of Purple Rain, featuring rehearsal tapes and demos galore.
