In Colors

 Good Morning!  Today Stampin' Up! demonstrators will be downloading the 2022 Annual Catalog!  While there are so many exciting products to soak in from the new catalog, I enjoy getting to know the new In Colors.  So many of our favorite Stampin' Up! colors started as "In Colors."  I started as a demonstrator in February of 2005 and the "In Colors" started in 2006.  Back in 2006, Stampin' Up! added six colors to its color collection in the Annual Catalog.  The In Colors offer colors that are trending in home, decor, fashion, design, and crafting.  For several years, Stampin' Up! offered a colloection six In Colors each year.  In 2010, the company offered five In Colors and announced that In Colors would be active for two years, alternating between years. 

See if you remember these first In Colors - Vintage Violet, Buckaroo Blue, Cool Caribbean, Marigold Morning, True Thyme and Cranberry Crisp.  I'll admit, I don't remember many of those first ones.  This year's In Colors are ......drum roll please!  Parakeet Parade, Tahitian Turquoise, Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet.

Here's a fun fact for you - Sixteen colors in our current color families started as In Colors.  Here are the collection colors that were introduced to us as In Colors:
