Did you know that a Flamingo's feathers are actually light grey when they hatch? Flamingos obtain their wonderful rosy pink colour from carotenoid pigments, found the aquatic organisms they eat. I think that Flirty Flamingo is a much better name for a new 2016-2018 In Color than an alliteration using the word "shrimp"! Here's my other thoughts on Flirty Flamingo...

Flirty Flamingo is a playful coral-pink that is more orange and more intense than Blushing Bride. Softer and less yellow than Watermelon Wonder and Calypso Coral, this cheeky pastel is perfect for adding a girly touch to any project.
