the Anish Kapoor/Stuart Semple feud over Vantablack is the funniest thing ever, principled pettiness at its finest
I feel like colour predictions do hold some weight, especially when they're primaries or secondary colours commonly found in nature e.g. green is more likely to take off among consumers than, say, lilac and I'd put my money on pink over peach and red over yellow - though that may be just the way influence operates on me (bought a pair of red ballet flats in November 2022 according to my order confirmation email, proceeded to wear them all the way through summer '23, same with wearing existing red-printed clothing). I think you're right and the colours for 2024 will be more burgundy and olive for autumn, with bright blues for summer - though I don't think red will ever truly be 'out' as a colour, given the number of women who wear it as a lipstick shade alone....
Hi Lily, thank you for your thoutful comment. Yes, I do too, colour and trend predictions matter, but I was suddenly thinking about how much sometimes once we hear the predictions, we subconsciously favours the choices that match. And agreed, red is a staple, but doesn't it feel ubiquitous?
