Mine is teal but all the warm autumnal fashion colours atm are really appealing too.

Teal always calls me though. Or turquoise or variants of. Just gorgeous, warm, fun and luxurious. Just like me 😆

Navy blue and floral patterns. Went shopping today because I’m bored of wearing the same floral blue dress when going out. So fancied a new dress for New Year’s Eve. Brought a very similar floral blue dress. At least I have the accessories to go with it

Black. I wear almost nothing else.

I like a variety of colours really.
I am not monochrome or neutral.

bushproblems · 30/12/2025 23:52

Black and red

TheWibble · 30/12/2025 23:57

Green. Mostly khaki, olive, and mossy greens.
I don't wear a lot of colour, but these shades of green always look nice on me.

sunsu · 31/12/2025 00:04

Green and pink. I really try to choose clothes and homewares in other colours but those two are just my favourites.

RisingSunn · 31/12/2025 00:07

Teal, coral and mustard.

Meteorite87 · 31/12/2025 00:07

Burgundy
Darker purple shades

Bowling4soup · 31/12/2025 00:09

Sage

TheMerryJoker · 31/12/2025 00:12

used to be bright orange, but usually its military camo patterns or all black sas style, but on occasion i like the all white winter thermal outfit also special forces style

Piknik · 31/12/2025 00:15

Pink and Green.
Always with the pink and green.
With gold accents

Muted, dusky rose and sage green for clothes. Gold jewellery, gold footwear
Pea green /sage green / tealy green with plaster pink/pinky ground/ballet pump pink for home decoration, gold fittings

In the summer, I will occasionally venture towards orange, yellow or hot pink accessories. Again with pops of gold

Never black clothes for me.

Never jewel colours
Never primary colours
Never royal blue

TheGriffle · 31/12/2025 00:21

Clothes, always black.

Anything else, navy blue.

awrbc81 · 31/12/2025 00:22

I love purple but sadly not many shades suit me

Tend to go for turquoise shades a lot too

Playingvideogames · 31/12/2025 00:23

Claret, beige and black

Pieceofpurplesky · 31/12/2025 00:25

User name says it all. But also deep red and emerald green. Pale skin and dark hair with red bits through it (natural).

tobee · 31/12/2025 01:50

Green. The cool kind. Strong and with blue tones.

I'm deterred by pastel colours.

Meadowfinch · 31/12/2025 01:56

I'm strongly influenced by the seasons. Autumn & winter, warmer, richer colours such as red, russet and damson.

Spring & summer, sunshine colours, yellow, turquoise, lime.

But always colour. I don't suit neutrals - navy, cream, grey, ecru at all.

ultracynic · 31/12/2025 01:59

Greens and a few blues, and I love yellow but wouldn’t wear it or decorate with it. I rarely buy white clothing but should do as I suit it, seems to light my face up.

Can’t stand pink/red/orange/purple on me or in my house. Even the red oven clock pisses me off.

Violinist64 · 31/12/2025 02:14

Red and gold. I also like pink. The Autumnal colours suit me, whereas cooler shades wash me out.

brennanbones · 31/12/2025 02:19

My wardrobe and house are the same
black, grey, blue, green

(redhead that never wears orange, red, yellow or pink!)

azuleja · 31/12/2025 08:51

I wonder why we favour certain colours. Everyone seems to feel quite strongly about the ones they don’t like.

We were just in a house that was heavily shades of beige. It depressed me so much I couldn’t wait to leave.

Teal for me too. Even my wedding dress! Lighter green blue tones for decor. I really like burgundy too, which is handy at the moment with so much of it about.

DiscoBeat · 31/12/2025 09:28

Navy seems to suit my colouring best
