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!

The Colors of Fall and Winter 2010 - 2011

According to  Millionlooks.com, the colors for the fall and winter season for 2010 - 2011 are:  black, white, red, yellow, beige, blue, pink, grey, orange, brown and green.  I think that means every color existing is in fashion this fall and winter.    This should make life a bit more simple for those of us on a budget.  We've got some, if not all, of those colors in our wardrobe already.     Fashiontrendsetter.com, one of the fashion forcasting websites,  have names for their colors like tea rose, deep plum, gray mist, golden bronze, pecan and Prussian blu (I didn't spell blue wrong; that's how it's spelled on the website). 

Here are some more popular colors for fall and winter 2010 and 2011 in visual form:

 I remember wanting women to wear more color during the winter months.  I may have received my wish this winter season.  Till next bog!
