Finally, my 20 year old appliances are back in style.
A definite upgrade from the avocado colored ones I finally let go of.
Every possible color could have been a land mine during these times, which is why they probably threw up their hands and chose white. 🤣 But we ALL know Orange is the COTY!!
Maybe that's why Amazon changed the color of their online header to a really awful, bright orange, which, frankly, I hate. I can't remember now what the old color was but . . . even though orange and black were my high school colors (I know - Halloween school) and my original GP, who I adored and whose wife made robes for patients out of old towels, said his wife would make one in my school colors if I wanted (no, I. didn't) - it's never been a favorite of mine. Probably because if I wear it I look like I've got the flu. Or worse. About the only worse color for me is this latest - cloud dancer, a/k/a boring white!
You mean the Amazon header? Oh- this is annoying - it's been orange for about a week and it's just been changed to green - for the holidays? I wonder if Amazon can give individual people colors they like? Possible? (and if so - scary!!!)
First, ‘bout damned time white got some love. As a white male, I’m tired of being the blame for everything wrong in the world. I’m satisfied with being the blame for everything wrong in my house according to my wife, and that’s my limit.
Second, you all can stop reading about this now and go back to real life. This is so stupid and pointless that we had a meeting and I’ve officially cancelled it. Yes, as an oppressive superior white male, I do have that power over “our” color. You’re welcome.
White is the combination of all colours of visible light while mixing all colours in paint produces black. Thus, this choice seems to fall under the heading of diverse, equal and inclusive.
Not many people know about full spectrum paint, but it's a marvelous thing. We painted our livingroom a full spectrum white that dances with liveliness. It's a shade of white that has a little bit of all the colors mixed in and still looks like a soft white. But depending on time of day and how the outdoor light hits, you notice all sorts of variation and its delightful.
AI (aka Simon:) says: White Light: Sunlight, or "white light," contains the entire spectrum of visible colors (like a rainbow).
Reflection vs. Absorption: When light hits an object, its molecules absorb some colors and reflect others.
White Objects: Molecules in white objects don't absorb any colors; they scatter or reflect all of them back to our eyes, which our brain interprets as white.
Colored Objects: A red apple looks red because its surface absorbs blue, green, and yellow light but reflects red light.
Black Objects: Black objects absorb all wavelengths and reflect none, so we see the absence of colo
When I hired a decorator and interior designer to help with my condo the color of the year was brown. They came back to me with the idea to do the entire place in that brown. I knew they just wanted the publicity for the Pantone color of the year. I told them that would be like living in a turd. I went with my own color palette.
My entire house is white (well, builder's white). We've only been in it 2 years so i haven't painted any walls yet. I still haven't hung curtains in all the windows. But I have white walls and white blinds. I had no idea I was trendy. I thought I was just being cheap (because the builder charged $200 if we wanted to change the paint color for a room. Nope - paint them all the same color).
Haha, imagine a journalist honest enough to say, “Hi Jenna, we’re getting ready to write a propaganda piece on your upcoming book, and we’d like to ask you a few questions. You know, just to confirm our biases.”
Jenna.... so they want to write a story about a book but they don't want to review the book? Huh?
Sounds to me like Megan just said "We want to slander you for writing a book but we don't really care what the book is about." What's the point of the FedEx letter? "We really want to make sure we can twist your words and use them to make you look bad."
Send me a copy of the book and I'll review it. I'll review the actual content without making character assassinations of the authors.
Never knew there was a COTY! Once again, glad to be this age and out of that loop. This made me laugh several times though. Glad Jenna can keep me current!
How does one write “a story about your upcoming book”, but it is not a book review?
“This book is Cloud Dancer White, Pantone’s COTY, with red and black lettering, (Pantone’s Red in the Face and Black as Meghan’s Heart), in various fonts, approximately two inches thick.”
Orange would have been too obvious
Hahahahahaha!
What Jenna said.🤣🤣🤣

Looking forward to seeing lots more in orange jumpsuits.

Wasn’t it yellow? I thought it was yellow…

Now that is funny!
Big "D", small "amn"... Damn! That's funny! 🤣😂🤣😂😉
On some level, white and orange have converged.
a dreamsicle ;)
LIKELIKELIKE!
😝😝😝😝😝
I have two takes in mind for this:
First, ‘bout damned time white got some love. As a white male, I’m tired of being the blame for everything wrong in the world. I’m satisfied with being the blame for everything wrong in my house according to my wife, and that’s my limit.
Second, you all can stop reading about this now and go back to real life. This is so stupid and pointless that we had a meeting and I’ve officially cancelled it. Yes, as an oppressive superior white male, I do have that power over “our” color. You’re welcome.
👏👏👏
My husband is on board with your “First” take. We, too, are tired of being butt wipes for every white and non-white virtue signaling twerp.
MMMM..... whiiiiite buuuutt wiiiipes.
Love this☝️☝️❤️
🙇🏻
"You will have no color and be happy"
😉🤪🤣
Chem trail white seems more right.
Good one!!

You beat me to the science. 👍🏻
And your reply beat my reply about the science.
I'm triggered 😂😂😂 lol

This seems lovely! Thank you.
I was thinking along those same lines. Well said!
I thought white was the REFLECTION of all the color spectrum ,and black was the ABSORBTION of all light? I have it wrong?

**runs to get more coffee to numb my brain from a refresher in color theory from my college days in art school. I don’t wanna rememberrrrrr 😫
🤣
Right. That’s what I thought.
I guess we said the same thing,only,different:)
Not that I trust AI on EVERYTHING,except when it agrees with me…😅

Sometimes the "experts" don't seem to have a clue. I'm so tired of "it's in now". Who cares? More important is: "does it look good?"
“On trend” is the one that gets my hard eye roll.
Most times the experts are clueless.
Hillarious
Poor Megan.
She just keeps digging herself a bigger hole.
Her response just makes her look more dumb.
"To clarify, I am an idiot".
...and devious.
What IS it then when you write an article about a book if not a book review? Leftist logic hurts my brain
AND she sent a FedEx????
I like the name Gaslit Glow! More fitting. Actually I could care less.
The only answer in the poll is "don't care".
Nice update on yesterday's piece.
Paraphrased:
" it's an article on the upcoming book, but NOT a BOOK REVIEW".
Clarification fer sure...
2025-26 colors. My living room has become trendy again. Whoot Whoot!
My entire house is white (well, builder's white). We've only been in it 2 years so i haven't painted any walls yet. I still haven't hung curtains in all the windows. But I have white walls and white blinds. I had no idea I was trendy. I thought I was just being cheap (because the builder charged $200 if we wanted to change the paint color for a room. Nope - paint them all the same color).
we have been in our new house 9 months. Thinly painted white walls over here.
I love white.
My whole apartment is now "in" for 2026.
Either that, or your living room is painted in the “coastal grandmother “ palette. (Yes, it really is a thing.)
Hahaha 😂🤣😂 That's the same thing I was thinking. Great comment 👍
I had no idea this was a thing. How is this a thing?
If it's not a book review, what is it? I know. Propaganda.
Happy Friday y'all!! 🤗
Haha, imagine a journalist honest enough to say, “Hi Jenna, we’re getting ready to write a propaganda piece on your upcoming book, and we’d like to ask you a few questions. You know, just to confirm our biases.”
Wait, I thought white was banned. I thought white was racist. I thought the woke left removed white from our culture. I’m so confused. Is this trap?
But it’s NOT white! It’s dancing on a CLOUD…which is happy and fluffy and fine oh fine…!
So now when I answer what my race is on forms, I’m going to write in “cloud dancer”
😂😂😂
OMG! 🤣😆😂 I will so do this!
Dying. So so funny.
Jenna.... so they want to write a story about a book but they don't want to review the book? Huh?

Never knew there was a COTY! Once again, glad to be this age and out of that loop. This made me laugh several times though. Glad Jenna can keep me current!
As a designer, I give as much credence to COTY as I do to where my hemline should be each year. (And I rarely, if ever, wear skirts.)
who gives a fuck is my color of choice.
😂😂😂
How does one write “a story about your upcoming book”, but it is not a book review?
“This book is Cloud Dancer White, Pantone’s COTY, with red and black lettering, (Pantone’s Red in the Face and Black as Meghan’s Heart), in various fonts, approximately two inches thick.”
😂😂😂
With a little “gaslit glow” background.
