My favorite color has always been purple or lilac. It's probably because lilacs and deep purple irises are my favorite flowers.

Mine is Yellow~ I think because it is so "happy". I just love daisies and anything a buttery, creamy, pale yellow!

My favorite color is red. I always picture myself in a red dress dancing to the song Lady In Red.
Silly I know but I always wanted a red dress. Not just any dress...a special dress.
Remember me as a rose. |

I gravitate more towards yellow...but love many different colors and combinations of colors.
I like yellow because it is such a sunshiney/bright,cheerful color. I love flowers in that color as well... as they just seem to shout.."look at me!..I'm happy!
It is a color that in my opinion every home should have a little splash of it somewhere..it is a very uplifting color.The master bedroom in our home is painted a buttery/sunshiney yellow which is so soothing and warm and cozy. Everyone in our family loves that room and the color.
Next on my list are colors like red and turquoise and pastels..colors that actually look good along side of yellow..ha.
I could never wear the color yellow because of my skin tone it actually makes me look yellow.
I also went through a phase as a teenager where the color purple was my favorite color...and then a phase where black and red were my color combinations of choice on clothing.
And as a teen at one time my entire bedroom was yellow...at another time everything was pink..but now it seems I've come back around to...yellow.
We have plans to make sure that our new home with have lots of sunny yellow combined with red,white and turquoise..loads of bright cheery,fun colors.

My favorite color is any shade of pink. And I was such a tom boy growing up! I also love turquoise and silver.

Mine is turquoise also. I am obsessed with the beach and that color reminds me of the water, fishing boats, Caribbean, Guam, etc...I also like how the color looks against my skin.

Wow that's a hard question. I also love turquoise, purple, and red. I like pink or lavender with yellow and I like pinks with green. I always loved blue as a child. I love the sky when it's that special blue with just a tinge of pink- you know, skyblue pink. I love the 30's pastels and I love the jewel colors, go figure.

Purple has always been my fav. Everyone knows that too.. I don't know why, it just is. I like lilacs and amyethst. My room growing up, my mom and I painted purple..
I really like the dark chocolate and blue color combo. See that quite a bit now. Blue would be a second fav and mainly because of the sky. I love the deep, dark, intense blue of a thunderstorm at night in the flash of lightning. You only see it for a moment. I like the blue of an autunm sky, it's different then any other time. I like the deep winter blue too, when there is snow on the ground and the sky is a cloudy gray/blue and just... there!

Tina, I too loved my fave color as a young gal and almost all my school pictures and beach pictures show me in turquoise, then I went away from it for awhile and now I'm BACK. My favorite thing to wear with Turquoise is RED. My mom always said they went together, and as I child I didn't believe her but now I DO!> My kitchen has loads of turquoise, all the lower cabinets are that color, and the joining living room is waiting for it's RED paint job, some time in the fall.
AngieKay and Diana: as for violet/purple/lilac, I ALWAYS say, "the world needs more purple" and I'm serious. It's another blend color that is far too underused.
Yellow is lovely in the bedroom, our's is painted "butter" and it's the perfect backdrop for whatever mood I'm in. The Blue chair, red bed and brown wood all fit in with the butter. Cozy and sweet for my honey and me at the end of the day.

Barn Red or Hot Pink...each look really good with my skin tone, and they make me feel either nostalgic of home or ultra peppy!

My favorite color used to be blue because I thought it was a nice cooling, calm color and I wear it a lot. Recently I have noticed that I really like the color green...pretty green grass, trees, outdoors, countryside...green is everywhere and it is a gorgeous, deep, cool color!

Hmm... I have a funny thing about colors. I don't really care for the "traditional" shades, I usually go for something a bit more .... Spicy, or smokey! Like-- Persimmon. The kind that's orange with a touch of pink blended in. I also like that deep, smokey purple color. And Mauve, but the more deep pink color, not so much the lavender shade-- even though I DO like lavender-- but all by itself! I like colors that are warm and inviting. I don't care for cool/cold colors much. They just seem so depressing. And I HATE blue! I don't know why. I just DO!

My favorite color is pink in any shade. It's just girly, pretty, and romantic. If I could I'd have my whole house done with shades of pink, robin's egg blue, and soft green - cottage colors. Pink roses are my favorites!

Green for sure. IT has been my favorite color always. I especially like hunter green, or a nice sage color..NOT yellowish or bright neon green..I like the nice cool nature colors of green...like a forest. Tracey...I am with you on blue..my least favorite color for sure.

I am with you Tracy. As as child, I always lilke deep dark purple and to some extent still do. To be really true to me though is any shade of Autumn! I love the season and all of the deep earthy colors. Dark burnt red, dark forest green, browns (both chocolate and honey colors, dark golden yellows and pumpkin oranges). That's who I am. I love nature and feel at home and relaxed with those colors surrounding me. :)
