When Pinker Times pop up first opened, the space was wrapped in pink. Three walls, a large window, and an installation catching light from the street. The name was never about pink as a color itself, but about a feeling tied to time and memory. Something warm, hopeful, slightly nostalgic. Pink became a vessel for that emotion, a way to invite people into a space that felt open and gentle.

As the studio grew, the work began to ask for more range. My favorite color has always been blue. My childhood bedroom was blue, and years later, when we moved again, I chose it without hesitation. While blue is often associated with melancholy, it has always felt steady to me. It is a color that holds you, that stays. A warmth that does not announce itself, but settles in quietly.

Retail teaches you structure. Flow, systems, clarity. You learn what is easy to place and what moves quickly. Pink and soft neutrals often do. But over time, what mattered more was not what translated fastest, but what felt honest. The brand was never meant to live inside a single color. It was meant to live inside context, meaning, and restraint.

As the work evolved, so did the language around it. The space, the site, and the objects began to move into deeper, cooler tones. The warmth did not disappear. It became quieter, more enduring. Less decorative, more lived in.

This new chapter may feel like a departure from the pink that once defined the studio. But as we watched the site shift, as the palette deepened and the work settled into itself, the feeling was unmistakable.

Blue is the warmest color.
