The 1980s arrived with muted
tones like mauve, plum and seafoam green. As the economy grew stronger, colors
grew more intense as well. Jewel tones, teal and coral became predominant. Black
and white also made a sophisticated statement in this time of conspicuous consumption.
Another shift occurred in 1987 as the concept of cocooning began to take hold.
As consumers found ways to spend more quality time at home, they surrounded themselves
with comforting colors like soft peach, bisque, blue-gray, and gentle green.
