SU New In Colors?

[Pawz94]

Has anyone seen the new In Colors? I heard rumors that they are very similar to the current In Colors. I'm dying to know!!

[jaydeestamping]

Hi Denise, I haven't seen them in person, but the demos did get a sneak peek in the demo only magazine. The Concord Crush reminds me of Welch's grape juice - it looks gorgeous! The Pear Pizzazz is a beautiful shade of green - it kind of reminds me of Anjou Pears. In addition there is Peach Parfait which is a lovely rich shade of Peach. Blushing Bride is a pale pink that looks to have a bluish tone and Poppy Parade which is in the red family.
I can't wait to get my hands on them!
hope this helps

SO against the rules, lol...sorry! To be honest, though...until the papers are actually in my hands, I'm not making any judgment whatsoever. There's a world of difference between looking at a color on a monitor or on a magazine page and having the real thing in your hands. Just the way the whole light thing works, I guess. I've seen several different ways people have described the light pink, for instance. Some think it's more of a mauve-y color, not really pink.

Not to worry, you'll be seing it soon enough. The demos will be able to start their pre-ordering June 1, and more than a few of them will be overnighting their orders ;), lol!

[Minders]

I will say they are not like the current in colors that we have...June 2 you'll start seeing stuff I'd imagine...I'll be overnighting although I'll have to work so hopefully I'll have some time to play when I get it!

Also wanted to mention that as far as I know, no demos have any actual samples yet. Some got to see them in real life on the cruise but the rest of us are just relying on seeing some SMALL and blurry snippets in PRINT which is TOTALLY different than the actual papers and inks. SO, I think a lot of us are holding off judgment until we see the real thing....and we can't post because we DON'T have them:-)

So be patient...it's HARD, I know....I became a demo so I could look early, LOL!

[Allistamps123]

They sound wonderful this coming year! I can't wait. I didn't feel the love for the current in-colors. I've liked lots of past IC.

On Dawn Olchefske's blog DOstamping with Dawn.. blog entry April 17 2010 she has done some comparing new colours to old ones. This might give you an idea how they differ or remain the same.

[sewsplendidstamper]

Those are the new additions to the core colors not the upcoming In Colors. Great display tho. Now I'm even more excited

What she just mentioned above as in Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, etc are the new In Colors for 2010-2011 and there will be 5 new In Colors the following year. The new core colors are very different...Cajun Craze, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, and Early Espresso

[LisaEDesign]

Still no lavendars? Since they are dropping all the light purples, I thought there might be one in the In Colors rather than yet another red.

[ScrappyKy]

Nope, no lavenders. That isn't a very trendy color right now when you look at other manufacturers so I am sure it was one of the first to be cut. SU is finally considering the trends in color and they have waited way too long IMO. They have had almost whole families that match nothing but their own stuff and are very outdated. The current "look" is more of a Shabby Chic/distressed look and garish brights/very soft pastels don't really work outside of SU products. If they want their stuff to be used by stampers who buy other companies' products, they have to compete and update their palettes.

I forgot to add that Concord Crush is not much darker than a Lilac anyway. It will be pretty close.

I agree! We are more on trend now! Good point too, about going better with other companies stuff!!!!

[jkstieber]

Only problem is, I stamp for myself and use what I like. I don't really care about trends. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that SU needed to make some major changes, and I am excited about some of these changes. But I'm also disappointed that they've taken away so many of the pale, soft colors that I like. And as far as trends are concerned, I do see these colors at other companies, which I will be buying cardstock from now because for the first time, SU is really missing something for me.

And please don't take my post to be snarky or anti Stampin Up, I will probably always be a loyal customer, but I do feel like they are missing something and I hope that next year's in colors include a lavender and pale yellow.

To end on a positive note, I can't WAIT to see the Peach parfait!

I'm excited about the new colors but doesn't mean I won't miss some of the old ones. The light yellow especially. BUT they needed to stay competitive and some of the colors just plain didn't sell as well as others. I've mentioned in many threads about how any business needs to weed out the low sellers in the warehouse to make room for other stuff. My fiance is in manufacturing and gave me this whole big lesson on how each square foot of space has a dollar amount attached to it and they use the sales of the things that sit there to determine what to carry and what to not carry. I NEVER knew how much went into it:-) I just thought the man in brown magically brought me stuff from Utah, LOL! It was cool to hear him explain it though, helped me turn the corner and be excited about the change...it was logical...I can do logic:-)

I can definitely understand them needing to get rid of colors, believe me. Some of the bold brights reminded me of things I wore back in the 80's, lol.

I have to disagree with this, Concord Crush looks to be very dark and rich not at all like a Lilac color

Excellent response! I completely agree!

Lavendar is just a color some people really like. I make cards for at least 3 people who just love lavendar. Sometimes it is the color I need to make a scrapbook page work with my photos of flowers or the clothes we are wearing in a photo.

I'll have to look elsewhere for that color in cardstock and ink.

BRAVO! BRAVO! That is how I feel. And I still wish that SU would have kept colors on a 'Dormant List' or something rather than retiring them completely. I like all the colors of the rainbow, whether I see them in the current trends or not.

?? I didn't think Concord Grape looked light at all...from what I saw, it looked like a cross between [the old] Vintage Violet and Eggplant - very dark purple.

The pink looks like the two we have now - I couldn't tell a difference but I'm sure it'll look different in real life. But either way, we'll have 3 light pink shades to choose from.

That would STILL take up space in the warehouse so they would still be facing the same problem. Just not enough space for all the things we all want...kind of like in most of our own craft rooms

:p hehe

I can so relate to this! I won't even be able to order ANY new cardstock when the catty comes out until I've freed up some space in my paper bins. I truly have no more room. So I guess I see a summer with lots of crafting coming!;)

[sprtchick]

I put Pink Pirouette and Pretty in Pink together last night and they look so great together...some of the colors you dont see the difference until you put them together. These two are lovely and if the new Blushing Bride is lighter than Pink Pirouette I bet these three will be stunning when used together.
I too am excited for the Peach Parfait....me thinking it might just look lovely with Groovy Guava...
blessings.

Again, haven't seen it IRL but I don't think it's close. Guava was more coral...the peach looks to be more orange. Make sense???

[princessmeshelle]

While I am excited about the new colors, too am disappointed with the lack of light purple. Purple is my FAVORITE color. I love every shade of purple out there! Light, dark, pinkish, blueish, reddish, soft and vibrant! You name it I am nuts about it. I mean My DH sleeps on purple sheets, surrounded by purple pillows with purple curtains. My bedroom is monochromatic purple, all different shades, together. So, I next time I am shopping around, I may end up not placing an order with SU because they don't have a color, but I can get it somewhere else. They should have kept at least 1 light purple IMO. I still love SU.

LOL, you have a good one! I don't think my fiance would agree to all the purple (as I'm not a purple person I'm ok with that) but it's cool that if that's your thing he goes with it:-) Secure in his manhood he is, LOL!

I would love to see a picture of your bedroom. I have purple accents in my room, purple blankets, purple sheets, but my walls are green. My bathroom is purple however.
I don't recall asking my husband :twisted:
but don't take my advice i know you (Minders) are just about to get married.

LOL, not that I have to ask him about stuff but I know I wouldn't want to live in a color room I didn't like...hence why I finally got him to change what he was going to paint the basement:-) Our room colors were all joint decisions...luckily we pretty much like the same stuff!

I just don't know a lot of men who would not object to so much purple, hehe!

Sorry, hijack over:-)

[princessmeshelle]

My DH knew from the get go that the house is mine. I keep the frou frou girly stuff to a minimum in the downstairs cuz that is where company gets to see. but the bedroom is my haven. I shall have to clean it so it is presentable enough for pictures though. I am in a constant state of decluttering my clutter.. Which for some reason seems to always be poppin up in new places... I think it multiplies while the lights are out...

But enough of my purples... back the OP! I am excited to see what the new look like. I am wondering if the Peach Parfait would be suitable skin tone color. When I heard the name Concord Crush I immediately thought of Welches grape juice. I can't wait to see all the new stuff!

oh I can sit in the room with the lights on and watch the clutter multiply

I think the peach parfait looks too dark and orangey to be skin tone, unless you are depicting someone using tan in can
I cannot wait to see these in my grubby little hands. I have not used the current in colors but for a handful of times, but these new ones are exciting to me. I don't think they are anything like the current in colors. I have heard people say some of the new in colors seem to be similar to some of the current or new core colors. Not long now to find out.

Don't want to burst your bubble...but the peach color won't be a good skin color I don't think...unless you WANT a person who looks like a spray tan gone wrong:-) It's pretty bright, at least from what I can tell just looking at it in print. Again, don't want to disappoint anyone but don't want you all to get your hopes up either! Just a about a week until I and the other demos can order the new colors and then hopefully you'll be able to see stuff popping up!!!!!

PS...I think my stuff multiplies sometimes too....I KNOW the laundry does, LOL!

We are of one mind, LOL....but I actually am going to get a spray tan later today...they have come a long way from the orangey color it used to be...I always get nervous that it won't turn out right though:-)

Funny we posted that at the same time!!!!

[princessmeshelle]

I wasn't hoping too much for it just thinking out loud. Or in type... Whatever... When I think of a parfait, the cream somes to mind which would lead me in the direction of a light peach. Which would usually be a light enough color to be a skin tone.... Tha is just the way my mind works though... SU could totally see it different. 12 days by my count until we should start seeing stuff! Can't wait!

Oh I understand, but I've heard quite a few comments on this so I just kind of wanted to let you know before everyone gets their hopes up and then be sad:-)

I agree, the name kind of sounds very soft and pastel but I don't think it'll look that way and to me it looks more orangey than peach...but it is still in the peach family, that make ANY sense? LOL! We will know soon!

[Pawz94]

I got a peek at the new In Colors (in print)....I agree, the peach looks very orangey and the Concord Crush looks like a pretty dark purple...close to eggplant in my opinion. Then theres another pink and yet another red shade. The pear is a nice green color that is a lot like celery. I was really disappointed. I was seriously hoping for a lavendar like a lot of people have said. I agree that they should have kept at least one of the lavendars instead of have 3 shades of pink and a bazillion shades of red.

[princessmeshelle]

I hate to say it but in years past I got all worked up about the new catty... This year I feel nonplussed so far. I know that we are a ways off from the new catty. But with so many changes I feel like I'm just waiting to see if I find something to get excited about. I sound like such a downer don't I? Maybe it is cuz my demo left me and now I don't have a live in person demo to see new products with and preview. Or even just talk it us with in person instead of "oh trust me it is awesome"! I guess I need a new demo.
