Eleven Pinks and Counting...

Just for fun yesterday, I looked up pink clothing. And just for fun, I googled the different shades of pink.  I found eleven, 
and I don't think that's all.  It seems that 
brand names work on different shades 
and give them enticing names.  So when a woman buys a magenta pink dress for example, the specific shade name gives the clothing even more enticement.  That's clever.

Bare with me as I name the shades of pink I found:

1.  Carnation pink     2. Salmon Pink    3.  Neon pink (I don't think I'd like that one)
4.  Blush    5. Tamarisk

6.    Persian pink:

 9. Cranberry pink   9.  Magenta   11. Puce pink
(And still more pinks were added to the list)


12.  Cerise:

13.  Fuschia:

 Now, this jacket is said to combine fuschia and hot pink fabrics, so:

14.  Hot pink    (Also I found today)  15.  Light pink

Some of the shades of pink look somewhat similar, but I guess the name depends on the mood of the designers and brands.  I may very well do a blog on the different shades of blue as that's my favorite color.  Maybe for next week...

Till next blog!

One Popular Color for Spring '11

Watching t.v. in the past week, I noticed a lot of coral clothing on women, whether it be an infomercial, a reality show, or commercial.  The color seems to fit most, if not all, skin tones.  It's a pleasant color.  I don't generally like the color orange for clothing, but, for me,  this shade is soft, warm, acceptable.  It's one of the colors for spring 2011.
