Do you find yourself drawn to a colour?

I had a bit of a purple thing going on and now it's moved to orange.

Strange isn't it?

My mother loved grey and I always said we have enough grey in this country without wearing it. It can look great though.

Autumn colours particularly orange or gold. Drawn to orange mainly and whenever I wear it I always get told how much it suits me.

Purple and lilac for me.

I wear bright colours every day.

I have NO beige in my wardrobe. Yuk 😝

NanKate, agree, is beige even a colour?

Not for me Sara

Ooh, purple and orange are my favourite colours! And a lovely leafy green. Yes absolutely, colours sing to me. Even imagining them and writing down the names makes me happy.

I have been colour drenching on my last couple of projects, and I love the results, everything one colour, very dramatic
I want to do my dining room black, but I’m going to experiment with a bathroom first, my decorator is a bit wary, he said he’s never painted a whole room black, but it’s not permanent is it? I’m giving it a go.

My decorator (me) wouldn't dare, as although its not permanent, I couldn't face the many coats of emulsion I would have to do to cover up black if I hated it!
But full marks for bravery, on some pinterests all black looks amazing with feature lighting & metallic accents.
I'm going to do a navy feature wall in my dining room, not colour drenching but using one of the all-surface paints that will do the radiator (or so they claim) as well as the wall.

I love dusky pink have clothes and items in this colour drawn to it.

Valdavi , that sounds good, navy is a popular colour at the moment, one of my daughters is using it a lot in her new home and it looks stunning.
