1988: A YEAR TO SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS You’ve been green with envy, so mad you could see red, cast into the black depths of despair, and singing the blues. This is just an example of how colors — and the impression they make — are a part of our daily language.

Brightly patterned clothing, bell-bottomed blue jeans, and ultra mini dresses graced the fashion pages in 1970, along with wigs and false eyelashes.
