30. Those weird colors are part of the JCP 'plan'

JCP has disassociated themselves with the Color Association of the United States in order to form their own color 'identity'.

Huge mistake.

CAUS is not widely known, but they are the group that decides what colors will be launched a couple of years down the line. It's really quite an interesting process, involving product 'peeks' via media and haute couture. If JCP thinks these planned, engineered trends can be bucked, then JCP has lost its collective mind.
