Will More Adults Show Their True Colors in 2016?

SEDONA, Ariz. - Dec. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- As the new Colorfest collection of 48 gel ink pens goes on sale exclusively on Amazon this week,  6 of the top 10 best selling books on amazon.com are adult coloring books.

Watching children and the way they relax and lose themselves in coloring has been behind the recent reawakening of these pleasures in adults.  Most of us can remember what fun it was as a child and, as we grew up, reaching a time when we either felt or were told that we were “too old for that”.

In a stressful world it has been scientifically proven that coloring is a great way to fully unwind and “turn off”.  It is now commonly known as meditative art.  In fact the Medical Daily reports that art therapy has been helpful for many people suffering with dementia, depression, anxiety and PTSD.  Also trials have show it has reduced emotional distress in cancer patients receiving treatment.

It is a wonderful pastime that can take you into the “zone” and you don’t need to be an artist to get incredible satisfaction from your creations. It is also a perfect social hobby with coloring clubs emerging in local communities and families enjoying creative times together.

There are numerous online sites emerging where free coloring pages can be downloaded and Facebook pages where you can share your creations.  However, there is now a growing movement to “Create to Color” with adults learning how to produce their own art and intricate Zentangles and Mandalas.

This is a brilliant age for the colorist where there is a wonderful choice of coloring media to try.  From colored pencils and watercolors to ink markers and acrylics.  Gel pens are one of the most exciting new additions and Colorfest have put together a fun selection including sparkling glitter colors,  bold metallic effects, softer pastel colors and, their most popular, vibrant neon gel pens.

Coloring has never been so poplar and so, with the gift season approaching, Colorfest is confident that their gel pen set is a perfect gift solution for all with no restriction on age or gender.  The inks are non-toxic and acid-free so suitable for kids as well as the rest of the family - and that includes the older generation.  It has been reported that many senior care homes are introducing coloring as a great way to occupy their residents.  So many of the born-again colorists are Baby Boomers.

Spokesperson for the company, Alice Raven says “Colorfest loves to help people celebrate with color and we are very excited to launch this new gel pen set at this time of year.”  “A great customer experience is also key to us so all our products come with a 100% money back guarantee”
