And, I don't think pastels on you. I think a great, hip, pop of color, a la Clinton and Stacy. Not too much, not too little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535141909888580823.post-46361643892706091792008-04-15T20:33:00.000-05:002008-04-15T20:33:00.000-05:00I am sorry, Cheap Chick, you are wrong.

According to Wikipedia, "Pink is a pale red color that was first recorded in the 17th century to describe the pale red flowers of pinks, flowering plants in the genus Dianthus. This color stands for beauty, grace and goodness. The color pink itself is a combination of red and white. Other tints of pink may be combinations of rose and white, magenta and white, or orange and white."

Not that you asked, but since you posted a pic, you are free game for compliments from random internet people like myself.<BR/><BR/>That said, I agree that it is NOT pastel. So you might need to go back to Robyne for a refresher course. Or to Macy's - they have good sales, especially if you have one of their credit cards and get an additional 20% off during customer appreciation days.

According to Wikipedia, "... a tint is the mixture of a color with white (also called a pastel color) , and a shade is the mixture of a color with black. Mixing with white increases lightness, while mixing with black reduces it. Mixing with any neutral color, including black and white, reduces chroma or colorfulness, leaving hue unchanged." Therefore, your borrowed sweater is a hue of pink that is much more saturated than a pastel pink would be.
