In 2013 Stampin’ Up!® launched a Color Refresh. In 2018 they launched a Color Revamp. So it makes sense that this is the year for major shifts and changes again in the color families.

Introducing Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Color Refresh! This chart from SU is a great visual of the new line-up of colors.

This chart appears at the end of this announcement video put out by Stampin’ Up!

Within that chart and video you can see the new 2023-25 In Color Collection.

• WILD WHEAT
• MOODY MAUVE
• BOHO BLUE
• PEBBLED PATH
• COPPER CLAY

You can also see the new core colors.

• AZURE AFTERNOON joining the Brights
• BUBBLE BATH joining the Subtles
• LEMON LOLLY joining the Subtles
• PECAN PIE joining the Neutrals
• BLUEBERRY BUSHEL (returning 2018-20 In Color) joining the Regals
• LEMON LIME TWIST (returning 2017-19 In Color) joining the Brights
• BERRY BURST (returning 2017-19 In Color) joining the Brights
• PRETTY PEACOCK (returning 2019-21 In Color) joining the Regals
• LOST LAGOON (returning 2014-16 In Color) joining the Subtles

All of these changes will debut May 2, 2023 in the new 2023-24 Annual Catalog!

Look at some of the fun 2023-25 In Color products that we could preorder as demonstrators!

And look at some of the wonderful products that we could preorder in the new core colors!!

I was live on YouTube and Facebook yesterday and explained all the changes. I shared what colors are leaving, what colors are shifting into different families, what past colors are returning, and what colors will be completely new to the line up. And then the bulk of the video consisted of comparing these entering colors to current and past Stampin’ Up! colors.

My friend & fellow demonstrator, Tricia Josephs was with me in person to help everything go smoothly. It was fun, because we were able to interact and try out comparisons that were suggested by those viewing at the time. A huge thank you to Tricia (who also captured this silly photo of me right before we began recording).

Click here to watch that recording (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog).

A big thanks to all those that were about to join live! Here are a few of the comments that were shared:

• adamsrose001 – ​I was really sad to see some of the retiring colors…until I saw the new colors! I LOVE them!!
• Tamara Dennis​ – Love the way you are explaining these changes, leaving, shifting, etc
• Vaye S​ – hate to date myself.. but when I was in school red was red etc…. lol… amazing the colors now.. love it

A HUGE thank you to Breina Burgin who has generously shared her knowledge and charts with me over the years. She’s one smart cookie when it comes to explaining the relationships of colors. Her 3/31/11 post is a good one to reference with some amazing visuals. And her 4/11/23 blog post has even more detail in it. This is one of her visuals that I had intended on sharing during the live, but forgot.

I hope you enjoyed watching. Scroll through the photos below, and then let me know if you have any questions. Each main color that is being compared is positioned somewhat in the middle of all the others and is marked with a rhinestone. Colors with orange tape are the “currently current” colors. And then there are a few that have covered up rhinestones because I didn’t want to confuse anyone. But maybe that is MORE confusing not seeing them? Sorry.

Because photography doesn’t always capture the exact color, it’s best to view these comparisons in the video to see the cardstock swatches turned and manipulated in the light. The digital color swatches are also good to look at even if some of the colors are off a bit. And of course… purchasing new colors when they become available on May 2nd to see them in person will be even better (wink wink).

• BOHO BLUE

• MOODY MAUVE

• WILD WHEAT

• COPPER CLAY

• PEBBLED PATH

• PECAN PIE

• LEMON LOLLY

• BUBBLE BATH

• AZURE AFTERNOON

• LEMON LIME TWIST (returning 2017-19 In Color)

Luscious Lime is such an old color that the two sources I use to build digital color displays don’t have it in their systems.

• BERRY BURST (returning 2017-19 In Color)

• BLUEBERRY BUSHEL (returning 2018-20 In Color)

• PRETTY PEACOCK (returning 2019-21 In Color)

• LOST LAGOON (returning 2014-16 In Color)

• MISTY MOONLIGHT (returning 2020-22 In Color)

• FRESH FREESIA (shifting from the departing 2021-23 In Colors)
