I have no idea when this ombre trend started, but I love it! For the longest time I just thought it was a gradient effect.  Various sites on the internet define ‘ombre’ as a gradual shade of color.  

But, in my interior design class we were taught that a ‘shade’ is: adding black to a color to darken it, while a ‘tint’ is: adding white to a color to lighten it. Most of the items below are pure color towards white, aka a tint, while others are more gradient in appearance.  In fact, the original definition says ombre is: an old three-handed card game! Language and translations are so complicated! lol

Anyway, enjoy! (PS aren’t those spoons amazing!  And I bet they wouldn’t be too hard to make!  I’ll put that on my to-do list.)
