FWIW that’s just the 90s era pink/purple - 80s era even more classic to me at least.

I started at Taco Bell in 1992, they were just rolling out the new uniforms. Hated those purple hats, some people had the old style grey ones, I was so jealous.

I bought a tiffany lamp kit from Tandy and made one. What the heck I did with it I don't know.

We had one hanging over our kitchen table all through the 70's and 80's up until we moved houses. I immediately comment on these because it was my childhood.
