I've been noticing a resurgence of a particular combo of colors that was big in the mid to late 80s, and there they are..."Honeysuckle," "Regatta," "Peapod," and "Lavender." Combinations of these tones were commonly put together with black into one item.
Here are a few examples: http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_f.....641633.jpg

There's lots of this color mix in the thrift stores if anyone cares! I have a skirt I thrifted about 5 years ago that is black, "honeysuckle," and "regatta." So if displaying Pantone's trendy colors is your thing, it should be easy for cheap!
But what I think is weird is the 80s colors, but the interest in going back (again) to the 70s in styles. Strange bedfellows, I say.
