Merkel admitted that she doesn’t know how many blazers she’s got.
"How many are there, I do not know," she said.
"There are occasions, when I have to wear dark colors; when I am told that I will be standing in front of a white background, it should not be a bright blazer. And, sometimes, I have a spontaneous desire to put on something colored,” Merkel explained.
The politician also admitted that she usually doesn’t have much time to choose her outfit, and then the color is a "pure product of chance".
Earlier, Dutch graphic designer Noortje van Eekelen created the so called “Pantone Merkel” — a collection of Merkel’s pictures in various blazers set up into a chart by color in a way similar to the Pantone color chart.
