The only thing that kept me from falling apart when I had to move in high school was my parents allowing me to decorate my new room in hot pink and lime green!

My childhood room which I shared with my sister was pink, but that was my parents choice. When they repainted when I was about ten, I insisted on aqua. My sister went along with whatever I said, lol. She’s a totally pink person now.

Blue, all shades
My home is decorated in neutrals with some blues and a small touch of green.
I wear lots of blue. It is always a happy color for me.

Green – from medium green (Eagles’ throwback green) to british racing/forest green.

My favorite color is magenta. Seasonally, I am a dark winter and wear a lot of jewel tones plus teal. My house is decorated with color, but generally not ones I would wear (creamy yellow, raspberry, and celery green in the main living areas with lime green, black, and white with pink accents in the kitchen). Hunter green also has a special spot in my heart (was probably my favorite color in middle and high school).
I love all things green (although I never wear it), and teal (which I rarely wear). That post above with the strip of teal colors literally made me sigh out loud.
Both remind me of the sea of which I am drawn to like a moth to a flame.

The answer is blue when crossing a certain bridge.

Blue, and more bright blues than dull blues. I remember doing the “seasons” thing in the 80s, and I am a winter. I looked good in jewel colors, black and white, and light colors totally wash me out. I am NOT a fan or orange or yellow, for clothes especially. I used to wear a LOT of black and a lot of gray, but as I’ve gotten older I look even older with either of those colors. Blues, greens, purples, and true reds (not orange reds) are the colors I gravitate towards.

Me, too! My mom loved those colors, too. We had very similar tastes in jewelry and clothes.

I love cobalt blue, emerald green and true red and maroon. Fuschia is also a good color on me. Our family loves blue but our house is mostly white.

When I was a teen, we were allowed to help choose colors to paint our bedrooms. I chose what I thought would be a light blue but once the entire wall was painted blue, I found it too dark so painted clouds and a sun with sunbeams mural and it brightened the room a lot. That mural stayed there for decades and always made me happy to see it.

I like to look at magenta and periwinkle blue. I like to wear sapphire blue and black.

Upthread I said indigo blue, which is my single favorite color. Like many of you I love color and it’s hard to pick one.
I have been making quilts in the past several years and I love combining the various colors. I’m planning to make one for my D that is periwinkle, magenta, peach, coral and ivory, very excited to see how that will turn out!

Clothing wise, I prefer black mostly. I have grey hair and light skin, so black is most flattering for me. But I do enjoy color (just not always as clothing).
I’d say blue is my favorite. When I’m looking for art, home furnishings, fabrics I’m drawn to blues. I like an ocean blue, cobalt blue, navy, denim,bright blues not teals or baby blues. I had new slipcovers made for two different sofas and I ended up with two blue sofas. I love them both. When I redid my patio set I picked a dark blue fabric.
For clothing I wear a lot of white, gray, black, blue and burgundy. My favorite sweater is a taupe.
When I was in jr high I wanted a bedroom of bright orange and lime green. My stepdad who was a gruff man sewed a corner group bed covering for me and my sister do,plate with the bolsters. I remember going to the paint store looking for the perfect orange paint.
