Didn't read the whole thread before posting... of course people have favourite colours! 😂 I don't go around telling people, but I still look at some colours and think 'Ooh that's lovely' and others 'Urrrgh'. I don't decorate myself or my house in one colour, but equally I wouldn't use khaki green or brown on anything, ever.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 12/02/2022 07:23

It's probably my least favourite colour. I like green a lot and red (although I wouldn't decorate my house red), my favourite colour for clothing is black.

I do like pink, but my favorite colour is emerald green, baby blue, or lilac.

Lillyhatesjaz · 12/02/2022 07:26

I think my favourite colour is the really bright blue of hydrangea I love to just be among them and absorb the blueness. I also love yellow. I am drawn to bright colours in general, not always ideal when buying clothes. I like pink and sometimes wear it, green is the colour I am least drawn to.
We have multicoloured plates etc and the family have always been colour coded. Mine are yellow, DH blue, DS green and DD red.

Blue is my favourite colour.

I am quite limited in my colour choices as I get older, however - blue (different shades), pink, grey, white, green and that sort of bright coral red colour. Rarely wear black, don't really have anything yellow, orange, brown, purple or scarlet red.

I like it but my favourite is blue. I like a nice ice blue, that’s what my bedroom was in my old house and it was very relaxing. Got a new build now so can’t paint for about 12 months but I’m going to buy a similar colour when I get the chance.

Prescottdanni123 · 12/02/2022 07:35

I do like pink but prefer purple, blue and green.

Coffeetree · 12/02/2022 07:35

Everyone looks good in pink. It brings out a rosy glow, for all skin tones.

I painted my lounge soft coral/pink. Gives the room a comforting warm glow. Amazing.

TopCatsTopHat · 12/02/2022 07:39

Love a good green or orange myself. I don't think there's a colour I don't like, but pink would be fairly low down the list.

My favourite colour is green but I do like pink - I prefer a cerise sort of pink rather than a baby pink.
Snap. That's exactly my preferences. Love green.
Spookytooth · 12/02/2022 07:42

Youve got two YABUs
Green has always been my fav.

Dontlooksup · 12/02/2022 07:44

Mine is blue.

SartresSoul · 12/02/2022 07:47

I don’t mind lighter tones of pink at all but prefer red and purple.

noblegreenk · 12/02/2022 07:48

I love green and I wear a lot of it too.

AuntyJanet · 12/02/2022 07:48

Beige.

NamiSwan · 12/02/2022 07:50

Yellow is my favourite colour too OP!

I actively hated pink for a long time in response to it being so pushed at me but with time and age I've mellowed and I do now have some pink clothing for e.g. but I still actively avoid getting pink stuff if there are other options on hand (which there aren't always). I have three girls and I've always tried to avoid pink. Worked for my eldest (whose favourite colour is black 😆), completely failed for my middle child, and my youngest (toddler) is a work in progress!

dottydodah · 12/02/2022 07:50

I adore pink! All shades ,dark pink/fuchsia is a favourite .Like pink tourmaline as well for jewellery .Have chosen a lovely bracelet for my Valentine gift as well

RuthW · 12/02/2022 07:52

Yes I always go for pink if there is a choice but my fav for clothes is blue or black.

Onionpatch · 12/02/2022 07:52

I dont think i have a favourite. Im a bit fickle. I do like soft blues and green in home decor, bright yellow flowers and i look nice in reds.

I have rosacea. A rosy Glow is kinda the opposite of what I am going for.
If you saw me in magenta you'd retract your statementGrin

inheritancetrack · 12/02/2022 08:00

I like it but not to wear. It doesn't suit me at all. So purse, phone cover, dressing gown etc.

Mumoblue · 12/02/2022 08:01

I like deep purples, almost blue.

I hated pink aggressively as a child, mostly because of how it’s forced on little girls, and while I’ve moved past that now- it’s never going to be my favourite colour.

TheFairyCaravan · 12/02/2022 08:03

I’m not sure that I have a favourite colour however I do have a lot of pink things, like iPad case, phone case, Kindle case etc, because I live(d) in a houseful of men who all have dull colours so I can easily tell which ones are mine.

I have a lot of pink in my wardrobe and I keep looking at dusky pink to paint my bedroom when we move, but I’m more drawn to greens for the downstairs.

Missey85 · 12/02/2022 08:04

My favourite colours are Pink and Purple ☺

Smidgy · 12/02/2022 08:17

I like pink but it's not a favourite. Favourites are yellow, green and turquoise.
