Colours,your favourite and how do you use them?

ps I can't understand the current fashion for black in clothes, so depressing.

My favourite, and the one that suits me best, is turquoise. Like some of yours, coolgran.
I also like pink in clothes. I used to have auburn hair.
In house decor, plain old magnolia with warm reds and browns.
When younger I liked olive green, but not now, it makes me look jaundiced.

I love purple -ish but not in home furnishings. I use it it scarves, wraps, accessories.

Just love love soft sage greens, and toning greens, with cream. And the ashy pink of faded hydrangea blooms.
These colours are used in my living and dining room.

At present I am knitting squares for a blanket using these colours. I actually took a few sprigs from the dried hydrangeas to the wool shop to get the perfect shade of ashy pink. The pic doesn't show the ashy pink properly.

The bathroom is grey and white with acquamarine, I think the paint was called 'seaspray'. So pale and so beautiful. Just a pop of yellow in a couple of blooms and my towels vary from white, to yellow, to acquamarine

The kitchen cupboards are ivory as are the walls with one done in 'seaspray'.

The colours please me so much.

Yes, I have noticed all the mustard colour around in clothes.
I think it would suit darker colourings.
I love jade green, and there seems to be a bit of that around now.

More colour the better without doubt!!!

And love it!

Like you, Paddyann, I just live colour.

That is a very interesting read - I tend to have light walls. -cream or grey sort of things and have colour in the furnishings and curtains - wine, gold etc depending on what it is and where.
When it comes to wearing colour beige, mustard and a lot of green shades do not suit me at all - I find it is often the tone of the colour that matters. Years ago I had a lovely red coat and thought I would try and get another one last winter but the shades were far more coral than pinky toned and not good - too harsh on me.
I do try to have various colours in my wardrobe but to a great extent find some years the shops are full of totally unsuitable colours for me.

I've just rediscovered mustard and it seems to suit me - I've had seviral compliments. I'm going to get my colours done in May but will be interested to see if I am "autumn" as the mustard would indicate. I heard anyone can wear red as it contains no blue or yellow.

I wear a lot of navy and red ,sometimes together but usually a complete navy outfit or a red dress.I like yellow its the only colour of flowers I ever have in the house,its a little ray of sunshine .I decorate often currently doing a spare bedroom in purple and grey ,my kitchen cabinets are french navy and my sitting room acid green and grey.
Panache I wore a lot of mustard in the 70's and I'm looking at that colour for a bedroom once we've completed the one we're on now .My dining room is red and we took the electric light away from the ceiling and have a candle chandelier above the table which gives a lovely atmosphere .I guess I just like colour .

Just been for a wander around our local M & S and noticed a lot of mustard shades prevailing at the moment, a colour I have never worn or used in our homes,whilst I admit the cheerfulness of the golden daffodil has always been a big favourite of mine......similar in shade I think.
I am pondering whether to just "dip my toe" and test out the colour, I did see a heavy cable knit cardie,it is something I am in need of so perhaps I will take the plunge!!

Green, blue, rust,

Dislike black, red, orange. yellow -except in flowers. Hate white .

Never wear jewellery , but my collection of crystals are mostly amethyst, rose quartz , green topaz

Blue is my favourite colour and also like purple and green, especially jade or turquoise. I dislike orange and don't like red or yellow much.
When I was younger I had winter colouring and could wear strong clear colours but now I am paler, summer colours are better.

I seem to drift toward blues, purples, hot pinks and dark reds. Now I come to think about it, apart from a diamond ring, the pieces of my jewellery that contain stones seem to be Blue John, garnets, rubies and amethyst!

Shades of blue, green, turquoise, purple (not lilac) and pink - but not pastel shades. I prefer my colours definite. Yellow is a 'no' but gold is just about OK. I've gone off black except for trousers. Strong colours like red in small touches, maybe on a scarf.

Did anyone see the documentary on Monday with the Queen and David Attenborough?

I LOVED the colours in the Queen's dress; pale green, cream, light brown. She seemed to blend in with the canopy of trees they were walking under, which I'm sure was why those colours were chosen. The dress looked like silk. I want it, but in a slightly different style as I'm not 91!

I also love pinks, light blue, light yellow, in fact most pastel shades.

This time of year is wonderful for me now we have some colour back in the shops.

My feet are purple too!

Absolute favourite is any shade of green. Have always loved this spectrum although everyone else thinks I'm mad. Also like really bright colour for clothes as they are so cheerful.

I love the autumnal colours - rusts, browns, yellows, greens, reds, etc. I have a lot of these shades in the house. I love the Autumn, too, MOnica, but I also love the freshness of Spring, with the lovely colours that season brings. I must be contrary! ???
However, I’m not averse to other colours. I tend to wear what matches my mood. As long as a colour doesn’t make me look wishywashy, I’ll wear it.

All shades of blue and sunshine yellow.

I used to like cream, or black to wear, but sadly now it looks ageing ( although I do now and again with a bit of colourful jewellery.)

Whoever said everyone can wear purple was wrong. If I wear purple, unless I wear a lot of blusher, everyone asks me if I am feeling well. I look yellow and ailing. The same applies to green.

I love Autumn colours from yellows and reds to rich browns. They are the colours that look best on me and I love the season as well

Purple from me to!
Started in the 70s decorated my room purple whilst parents were away also had foot prints on the ceiling lol

Now I am a bit more grown up
I have thick purple carpet in bedroom but keep bedding white just add accents of purple or berry colours

I often wear various shade of purple scarves so not head to foot in purple.

My little DGC are always saying Gran loves purple!

My phone and pad covers are always purple!

Purple is one colour I can live without ( sorry!) or any shade of it.
My faves are blues and greens and pinks, to wear, and in colour schemes in the home, soft ivory, and shades of pale blues and greens.

I am purple, mauve person - love it - amethyst is my birthstone and I love jewellery. New hall carpet is a purply blackberry colour fabulous!!!
