Color in 1990
Color in 1990
The colors of 1990 in many respects were carried over from the late 1980s. According to Harper's Bazaar, there were many different apparel styles in 1990, but all the colors incorporated with those styles remained very consistent. There were many
economical and political factors that contributed to the brilliant colors that designers chose for apparel in 1990, however abstract artwork in particular played one of the major roles in the selection."Fashion's most eye-catching trend takes its inspiration from the paintings of dutch artist Piet Mondrain. Following his signature style of primary colors bord
ered with black, top designers...are now showing dresses, sweaters and tunics with the same great graphic impact. Daring contrasts in shade and bold geometric forms infuse simply designed pieces with the striking appeal of of abstract art" (Pg 124, Harper's Bazaar, Fall 1990)There are many colors on the 1990 color pallet, the trend however, seems to be within certain central colors rather than others, all being brilliant, dramatic, and exotic.
These colors include:- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- (Satin) Gold
- Chartreuse
- Magenta
- Vibrant Blue
- Violet
- This includes varying shades of all of the above
The 1990 colors contributed to the "linear progression" style that became one of the major trends throughout the rest of the 1990s. These colors and styles were ultimately a result of the United States' prosperous economy and high social morals from the victory and ending of the Cold War. Colors then prove as great forecasting tools because of the way they change based on the state of the economy and social issues of the time.
