Addicted to Ombre?

I was wondering what was this "Ombre" all about till I did some research online. When I typed "Ombre" the first thing that popped out was from Wikipedia:- 

For them Spanish, it means, 
om·bre /ˈämbər/
Noun
A trick-taking card game for three people using a pack of forty cards, popular in Europe in the 17th–18th centuries

And I was like, "Eh..", that makes no sense. Kept looking for answers and found this While for them French, Merriam Webster explained as:-

om·bré adjective \ˈäm-ˌbrā\
having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark
shade, shadow
darkness
ghost

So I guess, people understood the French's "Ombre" compare to the "card-game-for-three-people-using-a pack-of-forty-cards" Spanish's Ombre. Si? hehehehe.

I read online that it all started with the "Hair". It was a hair trend for the Hollywood fashionista celebrities. And it had gone viral. But read in Cosmopolitan that :- 
"...For the last year, it seemed like every starlet in Hollywood was rocking ombré hair—that half brown, half blonde look. While the style is sexy in an edgy way, it also feels kind of lazy (like, "do you just really need to touch up your roots?")...
Hey, but how about this? Vogue Magazine Online said differently..?




This hair trend was introduced like way back in 2008! It's yours to verdict. Whether you like it or not. I think them girls down here, looks good. Maybe its more like, if you can pull-it-off kinda thing. You guys got guts!

 Ombre Fashion Hair Trend.

That doesn't stop the "other" trend, though. Like I said, it went viral, that it not only hit the hair stylist, but this Ombre thingy hit them design, food & of course fashion itself. And it's like bye-bye red velvet cake, hello coloured ombre velvet cake, bye bye natural monotonous interior, hello shaded of ombre hues! Bye bye colour block, hello shaded ombre wheels of wonders!

Gosh, it's so colourful that I can do this all day. I love the colours used! So vibrant and gradient and pretty. Aren't we very fortunate enough to live in a world full of colours!
