We will be able to show you in a few short days as pre order is May 1 and those who next day air will be able to show them on the 2nd. I usually do that but now that I'm not working I probably won't spend the money or I will...but on stuff and not shipping :-)

From an email I received...".The names of the New In Colors for 2014-15! You're going to love the names- Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon, Tangelo Twist, Blackberry Bliss, and Hello Honey. They are rich, vibrant, beautiful colors!"
The online catalogue will be available on May 1 for demonstrators, catalogues will be mailed mid May to customers from demos.

I looked at them on Aly Stamps and they really didn't jump out at me. Except I did love Blackberry Bliss. I'll have to see them in person. I love the 2013/15 colors! This is a fun and exciting time of the year.
We had a tough winter and now the weather is cold and rainy. The new catalog will be a bright spot for me!

By the looks of things the green may be the only colour I like in the new offerings. Just not digging the others. Christmas time I lean toward that type of green.

Seeing them in person may change your mind. I wasn't sure what to think at first but they are growing on me AND prettier in person even though I don't have any of my own yet. I often and not fond initially of the colors but always end up loving them. They are really different from what I expected (even though I couldn't tell you exactly what that was lol) but I like them!

I am hoping so. They seem kind of muddy on screen, though I like the blue and the purple.
I like the blackberry bliss the most...the blue and green tones look nice also, but so similar to current colors. I am not a big orange or yellow fan, and those seem even more like current colors. I am on a much tighter budget these days, so I am less likely to get the whole batch. I will say overall I like the collection much better than the pastel palette that came out last year. I prefer the rich, saturated tones.

I get each year's cs variety pack and the markers, then the occasional individual cs colors if they aren't too close to what i already have. The only InColor ink pad I've bought since 2010 is Baked Brown Sugar, all the others have been close to what I already have. My space and budget for ink pads is limited.
I like most of these new colors, especially the purple and green. SU has needed those for a while!
I still say to call them "old colors revisited." Lol. I don't expect them to created new colors, but they sure are similar to old colors. Maybe "Old Colors Revisited" doesn't generate sales? 😁
Meh. Think I will pass. I liked this year's in colors, but did not buy any from last year. Guess I'm on the every other year plan.
:p
I bought all last years colors!
This year I only like the purple color. Everything else looks so close to what there already is in the color line. Sorta surprised about this.
Guess I am on the every other year too!;)

I thought the colors looked awfully similar to colors that SU! carried a few years back before the big In Color trend and the two previous color renovations. Not at all like what I thought the Pantene color forecast looks like.
I'm a big green fan, so I'll probably buy the Mossy Meadow! I must say I do love the cover of the new catty, so I hope the contents/products matches the coolness of the cover!
I have looked at the comparison chart and wonder how close the Lost Lagoon is to Not Quite Navy. It looks awfully similar and I don't like that blue at all. The green is growing on me.
I ran across these pictures on Pinterest and they show a wider variation in the colors than the other links I had seen. After seeing this I think buying a pack of paper first to check them out will be my plan.

Judging by the comparison pics I've seen it isn't close at all. It seems to be more green leaning and not nearly as dark. I think the closest we've ever had to NQN was Midnight Muse (oh how I'm going to miss that color).
I was just about to type something similar when I saw your response!
These colors are more in the Regal family, and just not my thing.
You may be surprised by a few of them. I love the Regals in the fall but they get tragically neglected for the most of the year (although admittedly it's better now with Island Indigo and Crushed Curry) but I'm loving these new colors. I think they look a lot darker in pictures than real life (my Downline won a set of them at the premiere and they're super pretty).
Okay, that is helpful, thank you! And I do hope you're right in that they look darker in the pictures. I will play with them and that is generally when at least one becomes a friend
