By an interesting coincidence, this morning's SF Chronicle had an article on research done by Doty Horn of Benjamin Moore paint company on the most popular colors of the last four decades. I laughed when I saw all the browns that were popular in the 1970s but then a few minutes later I was at my computer browsing the catalog pages that Jenni loaded into her gallery. When I saw that lovely all beige outfit with the blouse with the bow, I decided I wanted to share the article on the most popular colors with you.

I thought I could just send you a link to the online version of the article but I didn't like the way it was arranged. Unlike the print version, it doesn't show all the colors together on a single page and you have to do a lot of clicking to look at each group individually. So I downloaded the html files and put everything together into a single document so that all the colors are together.

It's the document titled Colors by Decade in my album on the Green Bag Gallery. You'll want to look at it full size to be able to read the text which lists the names of the colors.
