After the major overhaul to Stampin’ Up!’s colors that I shared with you last week, there were a few years that only included changes to In Colors. Starting during the major overhaul, In Colors would now have a lifespan of 2 years and only 5 would be introduced each year.
The 2011-2012 catalog introduced the 2011-2013 In Colors which were Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder and Island Indigo. By adding these five colors and including the five In Colors that were introduced the previous year, there were now a total of 10 In Colors in the 2011-2012 Catalog bring the total number of Stampin’ Up! colors to 50. My favorites in this group of In colors were Pool Party and Island Indigo.
In the 2012-2013 Annual Catalog the 2010-2012 In Colors were retired and the 2012-2014 In Colors were introduced. They were Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit. My favorite colors in this group of In Colors were Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple.
It was time for a small color change with the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. Some colors switched color families, some colors were added and some were retired. Many of the names of the new colors may sound familiar as they were former In Colors. Below you can find the changes by color family.
Neutrals: River Rock was retired and Smoky Slate was added
Brights: Regal Rose was retired and Bermuda Bay was added.
Regals: More Mustard, Bravo Burgundy, Riding Hood Red and Not Quite Navy left. Perfect Plum and Rose Red moved over from the Subtles color family.
Subtles: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze and Bashful Blue were retired. Perfect Plum and Rose Red moved to the Regals family. Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride were added.
The new In Colors for 2013-2015 were Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush. You’ve probably already guess that one of my favorite In Colors of this bunch was Strawberry Slush since it was PINK! The other color I liked best of this group was Coastal Cabana.
I hope you’re enjoying this history of Stampin’ Up! color. It’s kind of fun to see how the colors and the color families have evolved.
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
