"If I had a child, I would force them to be an Oompa Loompa for Halloween. They would complain about the orange skin make-up. But they would photograph wonderfully."
Some color palettes are impossible to escape. Combinations that resonate with you can have unexpected influences. Fast Company's Sean Adams was bit by the Oompa Loompa retro-tones and infused it into his career color choices. Adams says the colors pumpkin, gold and chocolate colors "shouldn't" coordinate.
I think that's the beauty of taking color cues from pop-culture history. It inspires use of Pantones from the past! It carries the sensory experience of then into the visual now.
Or it's just oompa loompa doopa doopa de do.
