A Complete History of Stampin’ Up! In Colors

*updated in May 2023

I’m hosting a history lesson today.

So many of our favorite Stampin’ Up! colors started as In Colors. In yesterday’s post, I confessed I wasn’t sure if Pacific Point was, at any time, an In Color. That prompted me to do a little research about In Colors – and I’m sharing that with you today. I should have done my research before throwing that out there because (as you are about to see) Pacific Point started as an In Color.

What are In Colors?

Back in 2006, Stampin’ Up! added six colors to its color collection in the Annual Catalog. The In Colors offer colors that are trending in home décor, fashion, design, and crafting. For several years, Stampin’ Up! offered a collection of six In Colors each year. In 2010, the company offered five In Colors and announced that In Colors would be active for two years, alternating between years.

I’ve pulled together graphics of the In Colors from 2006 through the In Colors announced in 2023. What fun! While this will be a walk down memory lane for some, others will be enjoying new colors never seen before.

Here’s a look at each year’s collection of In Colors:
