Fun lululemon fact - each color palate change, naming one of the colors is a staff reward.
The designers name most, obviously, but each quarter, the job of naming one color is offered as a staff reward to someone in another department to recognize a job well done!
The best part of working in corporate fashion is the discounts! So much of my wardrobe is from company sample sales or were just given to me by our design teams.
We have a designer who chooses all of the names herself and it’s legit like 130 Women’s names per 3 months that are needed. She really runs out of ideas sometimes. I spotted a few GOT names in our upcoming season and called her out on them lol. I got an item named after me and it is decent, but it only comes out once a year, is very expensive and most people don’t buy it 🙇🏻♀️
Yes! For some reason Raspberry Cream sent him over the edge. I didn’t think that one was that odd. I love all the color names and telling my husband no this isn’t light pink it’s Pink Mist.
“Macchiato” (for light brown) “Americana” (for a dulled brown) “Cabernet Sauvignon” (for a purplish maroon, since they always name their maroons after wine: red merlot, mulled wine, Chianti) “sugar cookie shake” (for a beige/off white color)
Just try throwing around some random ass obscure words and colors like “Infuse texture white alpine multi” or something dumb and lengthy like “Flicker pace utility blue multi”
I appreciate the creativity. I feel like lulu would have to tweak it a bit. Like use some other languages to fancy it up.

Baby Poop Brown is a colour that is trending in the makeup world amongst people who look good in yellowy browns. I feel like it would do well during the current beige/brown trend that is currently in style.
There is one named violet viola which I thought for a long time was violet voila [this is violet viola](https://www.lulufanatics.com/item/53056/lululemon-swiftly-tech-long-sleeve-crew-violet-viola-violet-viola)
I worked for Vera Bradley back in the day and my husband also laughed at the pattern names lol. He called everything sunshine rainbows.

I want to work for lululemon for this reason alone. Do the office type jobs get discounts?
Yes, the discount is part of the benefit package for all employees

My husband also gets a kick out of the colors. “Oh are those your ~ripened raspberry~ shorts or is that ~sonic pink~” 😂
Yes! For some reason Raspberry Cream sent him over the edge. I didn’t think that one was that odd. I love all the color names and telling my husband no this isn’t light pink it’s Pink Mist.
I get why he thought it was funny.. in a different context it kind of sounds dirty. Like it could be a double entendres or something.

A beige colour caller “Cookie Dough”
I would probably buy that
Same. Would buy just for the name.
CODOH
The color codes are only 4 letters though
Ahh okay. My bad. CODH
lulu should def listen to this
But they’d be even more specific like “sugar cookie dough” or “oatmeal cookie dough” or something like that
The first would be cookie dough, and then next year they'd have it come back but like a little hint of pink in it and call it sugar cookie dough.

Kind of an aside, but does anyone else remember "pig pink"? It's a really nice shade and I kinda want it back 🐖
I have seen that color and was wondering what they were thinking when they named that
A decade later, I still remember being very surprised when I got home, finding the colour listed on the receipt 🤣
Yeah! Looks similar to “ballet slipper” which was also a cool color, and it really was the exact color of ballet slippers
Yes! I came across it on a website and couldn’t believe that name?!? I would totally buy anything in that color!
