To stay with the current trends and offer a variety of color shades, Stampin' Up! is revamping their color selections. A revamp is a major change in the color selections. Many of the current colors are retiring, some previous In Colors are returning, and many new colors will be added.
Seventeen total colors are retiring - Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Elegant Eggplant, Island Indigo, Marina Mist, Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, Soft Sky, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, Wisteria Wonder, Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Peekaboo Peach, and Sweet Sugarplum. If you love any of these colors, I recommend stocking up sooner to avoid missing out. I stocked up on all of these colors too.
The Color Collections are changing. The Color Collections will still be called the Brights, the Subtles, the Regals, and the Neutrals. However, a new color group will be added called the Basics and will include Basic Black, Whisper White, and Very Vanilla. Moving Basic Black, Whisper White, and Very Vanilla to their own Color Collection makes room for 3 more colors. So, instead of 50 colors, there will be 53 colors.
Some colors have changed Color Collections. Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, and Rich Razzleberry moved from the Brights to the Regals. Night of Navy moved from the Regals to the Neutrals.
Six previous In Colors colors are returning. They are Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, and Mint Macaron.
There are 10 new color additions. They are Merry Merlot, Gray Granite, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, and Shaded Spruce.
Here is what the new color selection offering will be starting June 1st, 2018.

Overall, I am very happy with the Color Revamp. The last time they refreshed their colors was in 2013. So, it has been some time since the colors were shuffled around. I do think it was needed as trends and needs change. I think it makes a lot of sense to have Basic Black, Whisper White, and Very Vanilla in their own Color Collection. I am looking forward to playing with the new colors. I am so excited that Mint Macaron and Coastal Cabana are returning! They are some of my favorite past In Colors.
A Color ReVamp can be overwhelming, especially when a lot of colors are retiring and the ink pads and refills are redesigned and reformulated. I am not replacing all of my current, non-retiring ink pad colors or my ink refills at this time. Once my ink refills run out, I will replace them with the new ink refill with the defoamer.
What do you think about the Color Revamp? What are your favorite new colors? What are favorite returning colors?
Please let me know if you have questions about the Color ReVamp. I am happy to assist!
Thanks for stopping by!
