Time to buy new stuff!

Teresa Nielsen Hayden has a great article on the current color shift.

We’re going through one of those periodic big shifts in fashionable colors. IMO, the last really big one of those was at the end of the 80s, when blues went more cyan, reds lost most of their blue undertones, and yellow came back into the palette. They all looked good against black. […]

I’ve known people who think official color reassignments are a conspiracy theory. The short answer is that they are a conspiracy, but they aren’t theoretical.

I’m so happy to be hopelessly out of fashion…

I've been wearing mostly shades of green and blue since I started buying my own clothes in my late teens. If people want to mess around with those shades, fine, it keeps otherwise idle minds occupied.

And black will always be the new black.
