The Colors of Summer 2001 have been selected and are as follows: milk, blood orange, goddamn itchy bug bites, cat litter, purple hydrangea, debit card, imprecision, hops, roasted red pepper, Ocean Pacific-like Floral Print (particularly in a kind of Blue Hawaii shade, if you get me), censoriousness, Umbria, yellow-blue hydrangea, sitar, fucking poorly airconditioned No. 4 train car, asphalt (crumbled), CD-RW, Anbesol, and mint.

The Special Independence Day Color was pork.
