Thanks,
Sorry for the typos on my previous posting. Yeah, picking up the next color(s)... that's a great challenge -- I'll try to think about it after I write about the watches connection at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year!
But it was definitely easier to start with a color (red) and then look up for the corresponding references in the 80s!
The 90s was the decade of the grunge, right? Which color is associated with grunge? Pretty Woman, Silence of the Lambs...
The 2000s were more black or silver, very minimalistic... and the 2010s very vintage-oriented and colorful (blue, green, red), should be a gradient dial.
I assume they will try colors rarely used on the Monaco. Or colors associated with TAG Heuer's latest endorsements (Red Bull Racing?).
What do y'all think?

: Thank you for this posting, which is so interesting. I will want to
: give it some additional thought, but you have definitely made
: the case for red being the color that is representative of the
: 1980s.
: Now, let's put you on the spot -- What are the representative
: colors for the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s? You see, many collectors
: are waiting in the wings, trying to determine when to pounce on
: one of these decade-inspired Monacos!!
