Just make it in a bunch of goofy named colors, and people will buy it.

That's QVC/HSN's new mantra.

Nothing new in marketing. But you're right about the names being goofy. Lol

I still don't understand ""pantone"". I wouldn't mind having a job coming up with the names for colors. OPI does a great job naming their nail polish colors.

What? You don't think everyone needs something a little toe-jam grey in their wardrobe?

I don't get the reference to pantone either. It isn't like customers whip out a pantone color book from their back pocket whenever a pantone color is mentioned.

It's a silly advertising gimmick.

So you aren't interested in a Misty Gloom top to go with your new Heaven's Desire pants?

Which store got in trouble for calling the color of a dress in the plus size ""manatee grey?"" The same dress in regular misses size had a different name for the same shade. It was absolutely hysterical.

I think it may have been JCP or Kohl's. (This was a couple of years ago.)
