[HEADING=2]X Factor[/HEADING]

Depending on how much reality television you watch, you might be more familiar with “The X Factor” as t

he title of a music competition show.

However, the color X Factor takes its inspiration from the mysterious “x factor” of horse racing—an

inherited mutation among thoroughbred racehorses that results in a physically enlarged horse.

 

As a color, X Factor draws from the passion, speed, and excitement of thoroughbred racing in order to c

reate this deep shade of bold, rich red.
