In Colors Through The Years!

 This was shared by a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator on Facebook. I thought it was really interesting and fun to read, so I'm sharing it with you!

More about In Colors - by Monika Davis

We were talking on Saturday at my team meeting about In Colors and which of the past In Colors later came in to our Core Colors. So I thought I would go back through the old catalogs to see.

This list is when each set of colors was introduced.

Our first set of In Colors was in 2006-2007 Annual: Vintage Violet, Buckaroo Blue, Cool Caribbean, True Thyme, Marigold Morning, Cranberry Crisp

2007 Fall/Winter: Blue Bayou, Soft Sky^, Wild Wasabi*, River Rock*, Groovy Guava, Purely Pomegranate

2008 Fall/Winter: Pacific Point*, Baja Breeze*, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red*, Pink Pirouette*, Tangerine Tango*

2009-2010 Annual: Rich Razzleberry*, Melon Mambo*, Crushed Curry^, Dusty Durango, Bermuda Bay^, Soft Suede*

The 2010-2011 Annual catalog had a color revamp. There were 16 new core colors. 10 were previous In Colors (marked with *) and 6 were brand new core colors.

2010-2012: Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade**, Pear Pizzazz^, Concord Crush, Blushing Bride^ (first set to last 2 years)

2011-2013: Pool Party^, Calypso Coral^, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder^, Island Indigo^

2012-2014: Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit

The 2013-2014 Annual Catalog had a color refresh. There were 10 new core colors. 9 former In Colors marked with ^ and one new core color.

2013-2015: Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana**, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush

2014-2016: Blackberry Bliss**, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow**, Tangelo Twist

2015-2017: Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron**, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder

2016-2018: Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo**, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum

2017-2019: Fresh Fig, Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide

Last Color Revamp was in 2018-2019 Catalog. Six In Colors with ** were added to the core colors during this revamp. And another 10 new core colors were added.

2018-2020: Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Blueberry Bushel

2019-2021: Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, Purple Posy

2020-2022: Just Jade, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness

2021-2023: Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya

2022-2024: Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis

So out of our 40 CORE Colors 16 current ones were former In Colors. Some previous In Colors were added to the core colors and later swapped out.

There are only 5 core colors that were around before the In Colors started in 2006. Not including Basic Black, Very Vanilla or White. And it looks like there was a color revamp also in 2005 right before the In Color program started.

Can you guess what those 5 colors are that we still have today and we had prior to 2006?

Which In Color is your favorite?

I'll come back and add the answer tomorrow.
