First Light, 2020 Color of the Year

Titty pink from the 1950s. Basically.

We're the cut tree branches sitting in an empty bottle. Listen carefully, we're screaming as we are dying by the afternoon.

R1, Reminds me of the pepto bismol pink popularized by Mary Kay who gave out cars in that particular color. OK so it's a lighter shade of it. Like Millenial Pink IMHO there are far more attractive shades of pink which are generally more flattering to most skin tones.

Would not use it in any of my decor.

My color of the moment is a pale gray-green.

R4, Did you see the First Light colored toaster? What were they thinking?

FYI OP the Datalounge color of the day is Dark Magenta (#8B008B), and the number of the day is 31.

And that's PFG to me!

It looks nothing like Pepto, r3. Some pinks would look good with gray-green, r4.

It's just a lighter shade of Millennial Pink, I don't see what the point is. I'm more interested in the Pantone color of the year, anyway.

It looks beige to me. Or, as Judith Krantz would say, greige.

The toaster is a different shade of pink than the cabinet it sits on. The cabinet is First Light. The toaster is more Pepto-esque, though lighter. Pepto seems to have a bit of blue in it.

Love it, r11.

R8, Doesn't millenial pink have brown undertones? Pink should be bright and happy, pretty and even inspiring.

I don’t like it. It looks like the color of a doctor’s waiting room

This just seems a variation of Pantone's rose quartz color of the year for 2015. Talk about being late to a trend. I like the Golden Straw, though. I'm sick to death of all the unimaginative shades of "greige."

I like it, but who the fuck is optimistic about the coming decade? Oblivious morons at B Moore.

It's too bright. Such a glare.

The First Light color palette is basically 1950s pastels.

I don't like it. I know greige isn't the most inspired color, but I just painted much of my house SW Neutral Ground in August because I need the visual quiet. It's been a long, loud past three or four years and I just want to turn it all off when I get home.

A "bold" or "expressive" color with "personality", even merely on an accent wall-- & growing tired of it /angry at it after six weeks-- I'm just not in the mood for selfie pink. It's everything wrong with the world right now.

It’s telling that even in the article where they’re supposedly praising this color choice, the color they foreground that takes up the bulk of the photo is golden straw.

R20, R15, Gold Straw is a wonderful color for home decor. It's relaxing but not something you'd easily get sick of in your surroundings. More earthy toned and yet optimistically warm and energizing IMHO.

I'm already sick of it. It's orange, FFS.

It does look like generic sherbet.

Agree, R21. I'm really digging the Golden Straw. It's neutral, yet warm, and it will look good with most people's skin tones.

Optimistic about the new decade? Me too!

^ he wanted First Labia, but that shade isn't in the contract.

"Doesn't millenial pink have brown undertones? "

Millenial pink is slightly muted and cool, IMHO it has gray undertones rather than the warmth of brown.

This is a pale, too-intense pink, and I HATE it. It's a color I associate with fraus who think pink is flattering and feminine, but who have no clue that other shades of pink are more flattering to wear or to decorate with than this.

Girly.

I remain horrified.
