There is no getting away from it, Amaranth is a sexy color. Oscar da la Renta designed a silk faille cross-over drape dress in an A-line design for Bergdorff’s that sold out within minutes of its launch. Amaranth’s intense blush tone makes it a popular color for both young and old celebrities to wear to the Oscars. Dame Helen Mirren wore a gauzy Amaranth Haute Couture gown designed by Schiaparelli, while Linda Cardellini wore a ruffled Amaranth dress.
While many people may recognize Amaranth as the color used in the Barbie logo, they may not realize that Amarnath is used by many other well-known brands too. For instance, the smile face on LG’s logo is Amaranth, and so too is the bell in Taco Bell.
