I don't like pink at all, my favourite is (and has been since I was very young) blue.

lljkk · 12/02/2022 20:48

blues are my fave...
You know this is hard. I wear a lot of pink & black -- I am very much NOT a black person. It's not a first choice at all. Even my car is black and I.Don't.Like.Black. It was just convenient.

So although I wear a lot of pink, that must be more to do with available selection than preference. If I could choose any colours in my life/wardrobe, I'd go for ~65% blues spiced up with some (fairly eye-catching shades of) purples, greens, rust, yellow, PINK, white .. maybe 2% black?

i don't like browns. Can just about appreciate rusty or burgundy tone browns, but generally quite dislike browns. Tan or Beige is awful. Red doesn't suit me, either. The modern penchant for mustard befuddles me, too.

No it's blue so I must be a man

OfstedOffred · 12/02/2022 20:51

Green. But not anything yellowy/browny/sludgey.

Grass - yep. Pea green: yep
Pale minty shades - lovely.
Turquoise & jade shades yep

Me too...!

QueenPeony · 13/02/2022 09:59

I like mustard! (though generally not with pink…)

It’s one of those colours that has to suit your colouring though. I wouldn’t wear a colour just because it’s the in colour of the season and all over the shops.

Hamjamwich · 13/02/2022 10:01

Khaki, black and berry.
Pink - no

OhWhyNot · 13/02/2022 10:11

Mine is cerise pink

In occasionally wear it but not often

I love yellow too (I never wear yellow)

RainbowBridge21 · 13/02/2022 10:37

I love teal the most but adore powdery blues and dusky pinks, gorgeous burgundies and plum, sea green, lavender... So many colours Smile

DinosApple · 13/02/2022 10:44

Favourite colour - aqua.

But I love most colours- yellows, pinks, blues, oranges, reds, greens, purples.

Only colours I don't particularly like are wishy washy, grey etc. Fortunately bright colours suit me.

@ihatebeinganadult

I love the colour pink, weirdly not clothing. But when my abusive arsehole ex left, I completely redecorated every where in pink and grey. Every bloody room and I love it.
Ah yes. First thing I did when my wanker ex ( father of dc1) left was painted my bedroom a lovely shade of in your face hot pink. He HATED pink!
Holothane · 13/02/2022 12:01

I’m loving lilac at the moment as well.

hangrylady · 13/02/2022 12:02

Mines blue but I do like pink

AffIt · 13/02/2022 12:06

@Missingindevon

My favourite colour is yellow! I always thought if look crap in it but recently I've started wearing more yellow not as a full outfit but as a pop of colour and I'm loving it.
I like yellow, too!

I have slightly sallow skin, so it's probably not the most flattering, but it makes me feel happy and I'm over 40, so I don't care what other people think. Grin

Can you forgive a partner who cross dresses in secret

Roominmyhouse · 13/02/2022 12:08

I’m really not a fan of pink. I much prefer green or blue.

notacooldad · 13/02/2022 13:18

Absolutely true. I saw a vintage style dress that absolutely loved. DH never normally says anything negative about my clothes gasped ‘God no! That doesn’t do you any favours’ I took a selfie and it was as plain as day mustard is definitely not my colour!.
I’ve learned to stick mainly to pale pinks , blues and soft yellows!

@Katieg410

"Can you forgive a partner who cross dresses in secret"

Wrong thread?

And no

LesLavandes · 14/02/2022 14:04

I love pink

Butteredtoast55 · 14/02/2022 17:20

I really like blush pink which I have in one bedroom, and think a pastel pink can look lovely on older ladies (my DM had a lovely pale pink roll neck sweater that just looked gorgeous with her silver hair)
But I think blue might be my favourite.
