My favourite colours are:

  • Light Pink
  • Buttermilk yellow
  • Light blue
-Lilac
  • Pale green

I really don't like very bold colours like bright red, orange and emerald green; with the one exception being red at Christmas time.

I mostly live in black and navy though as I'm overweight and feel like I can hide in those colours!

@Flowersandhearts you could get accessories in those colours? I always wear black too but I'm loving my new pale yellow mini backpack. I've also bought a pair of yellow snake earings 🐍 💛 it brings me joy

I like pink but it's not my favourite. My favourite is yellow and has been for a long time. My first car was a little yellow fiat 500 and I was so pleased with it.

I also love red, green, blue and purple. I love most colours, to be honest.

DeeCeeCherry · 12/02/2022 01:15

No, its not my favourite. But I like pink, it suits me.

Amandasummers · 12/02/2022 01:15

Black. Closely followed by grey/white/silver. I’ve never really “done” colour.

steff13 · 12/02/2022 01:20

My favorite color is blue, but I love pink too. And I look good in pink so I wear it a lot.

Goldilocks99 · 12/02/2022 01:21

Turquoise
Periwinkle blue
Lilac
Jade Green
Coral
Sunshine yellow
Sky blue

If I do ever choose pink it's a grown up shade like dusty pink.

That magenta, bubblegum and bright pink that all women's things come in are awful on me and I actively hate them.

DramaAlpaca · 12/02/2022 01:28

I love pink. Always have, always will. I don't wear it from head to toe and I choose my shades carefully, but tbh most shades of pink really suit me so I feel good in it.

I also love many shades of green, teal and blue. The colours I dislike and would never wear are orange and brown. I'm not keen on yellow either, other than the palest primrose. I like black but it washes me out totally.

AllThingsServeTheBeam · 12/02/2022 01:30

I used to lie as a child and say yellow was my favourite colour. But it's always been pink. Really really bright fluorescent pink.

Strokethefurrywall · 12/02/2022 01:30

Oh god no. Pink doesn’t work with my skin tone at all.

Duck egg blue, turquoise, navy and all shades of blue here, and emerald greens.

HW1989 · 12/02/2022 03:46

Don’t have any pink clothes. I love green and blue

LemonViolet · 12/02/2022 03:49

@Missingindevon

Lol 🤣 yanbu I like other colours is you couldn't figure out my ingenious code.
Sorry I couldn’t, it’s the middle of the night! You might want to re-run this, at the moment 60% of women have pink as their favourite colour which I doubt is right!

@mowly77 are you me?

PinkSyCo · 12/02/2022 04:19

Take a wild guess Grin. I love pink. From baby to cerise, I love it all. Also a big fan of rose gold and have recently become the proud owner of new RG reading glasses to match my purse, phone case and cigarette box.

Ilovetommycat · 12/02/2022 04:28

I love pink, purple and blue. Most of my clothes are in a mix of these along with black and white.

theculture · 12/02/2022 04:49

Favourite clothes jeans + t shirt or jumper or if at work blouse mainly in dark blue, green, brown etc

I have got a pink top which I tried on as I really like the shape and had got the 2 other colours already Smile and found that actually it did suit my colouring but I can't wear it too much as I hate the pink stereotype!

BeckonCall · 12/02/2022 04:57

I love pink, and look good in pale pink, plus have some accessories in pink.

My favourite colour is blue, though. Mostly periwinkle, cobalt blue and royal blue.

RainbowMum11 · 12/02/2022 04:58

Blue is my favourite colour if that means anything

AlDanvers · 12/02/2022 05:01

I don't have one favourite colour.

I love deep blues and purples, which also ways look amazing with a but if pink. Also live black, gold and silver.

Mums was pink though. My dds is deep pinks and reds.

blubberball · 12/02/2022 05:16

My favourite colour is the colour of the sea in Moana, like a turquoise.

At school my favourite colour was black. Even though black is a shade and not a colour. I wear mostly black because I'm quite fat. Nothing against pink.

QuentininQuarantino · 12/02/2022 05:27

I love pink but it’s hard to get the ride shade of pink. I like a dusky “millennial” pink that’s not quite pastel but too far one way is dirty pink and too far the other is sickly and saccharine.

I like hot pink too but it doesn’t suit me.

My favourite colour of all is the blue/green of the sea.

Moonface123 · 12/02/2022 05:31

No pink for me, except underwear, pink is not my colour, nothing against it, prefer the earthy and jewel colours.

jay55 · 12/02/2022 05:38

No, orange. It's never been pink but as a child in the 70s pink wasn't so prevalent for girls growing up.
