Deep rose pink for me. I have blonde hair & green eyes and it really suits me. Love it. Currently sat here in a pink hoodie. Don’t like pastel pinks however

TimBoothseyes · 12/02/2022 15:42

No quite the opposite. Pink is my least favourite colour. I think the last pink item of clothing I wore was a jumper, when I was around 6/7 years old. Never dressed DD in pink either.

Mary46 · 12/02/2022 16:11

Im a fan of green. Pink can be nice with denim or jeans. Not sure about all pink shades. Have seen a bit of yellow in shops its nice

Ilovetommycat · 12/02/2022 17:15

The colours I prefer for clothing are ones that suit my skin tone, so pink, purple and blue.
Autumn colours look dreadful on me as do yellow and green. I don't decorate my house to match my skin tone so lots of these colours on my walls.

I love pink and green together. My fav combo! I think it’s cos it’s a colour combo you see if flowers a lot.

JudgeJ · 12/02/2022 17:23

Definitely always been my least favourite colour, daughters were never dressed in pink, too sickly for words.

ladygindiva · 12/02/2022 17:29

Mines purple, specifically a deep aubergine. Not lilac. I also love burgundy as a close second. I do like pink though, especially raspberry shades.

itsgettingweird · 12/02/2022 17:31

Mines pink!

I also like a baby blue.

I have lots of various designs of clothes in these colours which I team with plain bottoms/jeggings.

But I also have numerous pairs of the m and s high waisted leggings in various colours that I team with plain black/grey/ cream tops.

But my kitchen is pink and duck egg, so is my lounge.

However my bedroom is purple Grin

ChiefAdjusterOfRubensShorts · 12/02/2022 17:31

I hate pink and always refused to wear it as a child, I’m nearing 50 now and have never bought myself any pink clothing.

Manchester City blue is my favourite colour.

DearlyBeloathed · 12/02/2022 17:33

Pink actually is my favourite colour, hah.

IcedPurple · 12/02/2022 17:33

Purple is my fave but I also quite like pink. And turquoise. And grey. And cream. And lots of colours really.

slapmyarseandcallmemary · 12/02/2022 17:35

Yellow and red

CSIblonde · 12/02/2022 17:38

It's not my favourite . I like black, purple, blue & cream . From a marketing perspective making something pink means you triple your sales. It's because pink has comforting, happy, safe associations with childhood.

Xanadu58 · 12/02/2022 17:39

Orange and blue are my favourite colours

QueenPeony · 12/02/2022 17:41

I really love pink and I'm a raving radical feminist. But I also love lots of other colours - colours are really important to me and affect how I feel. Pink, especially as a wall colour, makes me feel very happy and energised. And I also love how there are so many different pinks.

However I don't think women's things only come in pink - that's really not true. There are some pink pens, tools etc that are supposed to be for women (but as I like pink I don't care, and I'm also fine with the normal non-pink ones). But I can't think of any item of clothing for women that only comes in pink.

In fact I usually find that a lot of clothes will come in navy and usually one or two other shades of blue and not enough pinks, greens, yellow, orange etc. Boden and Hush both terrible for this. Blue blue and more bloody blue, which I don't like and doesn't suit me.

I love all the rainbow colours in pastel or darker anything glitter gets my vote these are my luggage labels and my tiny satchel look at these.

@amusedbush

My favourite is teal but not too bright, more muted shades of it. I love sage green, too.

The attached is a random photo I took from google. That colour is what Apple calls "cactus" and that's my favourite shade.

I hate pink!

Love teal, duck egg, hyacinth blue, purple ...

FairyLightQueen · 12/02/2022 17:48

My top three are purple, blue and pink.

Yes, aubergine, plummy purples, claret, and merlot colours are all gorgeous.
bridgetreilly · 12/02/2022 17:50

I spent my teens and early 20s pretending I didn’t love pink. I’m not doing that any more.

andysgirl22 · 12/02/2022 17:52

I love pink and always have. I like all shades of pink but particularly rose gold, baby pink and a kind of flouredcent neon pink that is hard to describe lol. I've always loved glitter too genuinely.

Eightiesfan · 12/02/2022 17:52

Before I had children alomst everything I wore was black. But then I had DS1 and DS2 and suddenly started wearing dresses in floral prints and I now absolutely love pink whereas I would not have been caught dead wearing it before kids. I jokingly used to say this was my way of dealing with the increased testosterone levels of having boys!

andysgirl22 · 12/02/2022 17:54

@Holothane those are fab. In particular love the satchel that's so sweet and cool. You have fab taste. Both thumbs up.from me. Haha.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/02/2022 17:54

Yes. Yes pink is my favourite colour. Not keen on salmon pink but love all others.

Raspberriesbananas · 12/02/2022 17:55

Pink is my favourite colour, I wear pink often, it suits me, and I feel good in it. I get comments often but I really don’t care, I also like duck egg, mint green and bright yellow.
