I was reading posts about whitetwashing, and all of a sudden, I saw something while sitting in the library. I saw colorwashing on bookcovers. I saw a cover and said, "Oh! That reminds me of another book I read." and when I thought why, it's because of the covers had the same color on it! I think purple is the new black. If you find a book with purple, it will probably be about something spooky or fantastical...
Have you seen any colorwashing of genres lately?

Remember when "Confessions of a Shopaholic" came out? After that, it seemed like every girl's book came out with a pink cover. In my library it became a genre, Pink books.
I had a great idea!! Wouldn't it be cool (and a visual experiment!) if we did displays by color...and see which ones the kids naturally go to?
I think I"m going to do that!!
Thanks for the comment Cupertino HS :)
