I am taking an art class on color and learned that there are a group of 1,500 people - sometimes referred to as the color mafia - who each year chose the color palette that will grace our clothing, sheets, curtains, floors, cars, etc.
They decided, for example, that after 9/11 we needed to be happier so hot pink would be the color of the year.
The go-go and political 90's were all about red, white and blue.
Now we're heading more towards environmentally conscious greens and browns.
I think Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada said something referring to this, but I thought she was just being obnoxious.
Things tend to shift minutely. There aren't usually dramatic shifts from year to year.
Could you imagine the power though?
How strange.
