This. I like it bc it’s actually meaningful unlike “a red lip” or “a kitten heel.”

As a fashion designer this is a standard.

I don’t mind it but maybe because I learned the term looking at home decor stuff and it just seemed like a useful term. You’re talking about colors, not a color, and you don’t want to list all the colors. So you get “blue colorway” or whatever. It’s doing a job and I don’t think there’s another term.

Also cringe at "price point" or "pricing". Just say price for Gods sake.

Home instead of house is also silly.


Better “pricing” than “investment.”


Photographers take note.

Not to mention "pop of color" when you just mean color.

Verbing a noun? That didn’t bother me until now…

Nouning a verb annoys me, as in “that’s a big ask” - why not use the word “request” if you need a noun? “Ask” should remain a verb

All of this, plus “a lip.”

Also, "curate" and "gift".
