I like the baja and the riding hood but I LOVE the kiwi kiss. I'm definitely stocking up on this one before it retires. I use it all the time. I've use the tango and the pirouette but not much. I haven't use the pacific pointe much at all. Too bright for my taste.
It seems that I have never been the "winner" on these, according to SU's choices. ;) But aside from that, every year I have had a fav from the In-Colors ... and it's not always the one I would have chosen at the first release of the photos. Getting them in my hot little hands, & getting inky seems to make all the difference for me.
I am a FIRM believer that SU should introduce 6 new colors a year and KEEP THEM ALL!!!! They would get TONS more money from me that way!!!!
I am so NOT a pink person . . . but I LOVED LOVED LOVED Guava and Pomegranate and I love the blues/green this go-round and Cool Caribbean is still a fave (and I hoard the few packs I have left and rarely use them)

Just curious, when did they last redo their regular colors? Has it been done more than once? Just think, if 70's colors were still up front and center, we'd have Avocado Green, Rust/dirty orange and Harvest Gold all over the place! God, I got so sick of those colors, ruined my love of green for a couple of decades.
It's funny - when I started reading this thread I wondered the same thing. I went back through my old catties and found that the last revamp was in 2005.
I'd love it if they would switch out a few colours for the in-colours of the last three years. There are some great colours in there!
Also voted Riding Hood Red. I was tempted to vote Pink Pirouette but I can get along with Pretty in Pink if I have to, but Ruby Red just looks so bleached out after using Riding Hood. I really didn't think I needed another red but have to say that I love it.
I don't really care for Baja Breeze, it's the only one I don't like this year. It's just too grey and I have always liked Bordering Blue for nautical stuff. I will miss all the others though.
Kiwi Kiss is my favorite. I was hoping for that color of green for the past few years. But I do like all of them, and would be happy to see them stay. Do you think they will ever bring back any of the in colors?
I went RRH. I was tempted by Pacific Point because it is one of the few blues that inspire me but Riding Hood Red is a good, all purpose color and different from the other reds in the current palette. I've never thought twice about Pink Pirouette. I'm not a pink person for one, but it also seems a lot like the other pinks out there but maybe that's just because I'm not a pink person! Love the new purple Rich Razzleberry. The palette as a whole is weak in purples and it's my favorite color!
I needed a choice of "don't save any".. however if we were speaking of past In colors.. then I would choose several of them.. River Rock, Wild Wasabi, Cool Caribbean to name a few.. I didn't buy any of this years In Colors, I seen them in person but didn't care for them.. that's the first time I have not ordered the In colors
