What is your favorite color, & is it reflected in your scrapbooking?

Orange is my fave! All shades of it. Goes well with my favorite season, fall. And yes, I do scrap with it.

My favorite color is robins egg blue followed very closely by buttercup yellow. I use both a lot, and it helps they are included in many collections, too! My favorite color to scrapbook with is purple, which up until a year ago was my very least favorite color of all. I'm still not sure what happened there!

Aqua, and teal shades. Anything green-blue, whatever you want to name it. And since it's so prevalent in scrapbooking, yes, I use it a great deal!!!

Even though purple has always been my favourite colour since I was a little kid, I *love* aqua and teal for clothes, cars, furnishings, kitchenware, handbags, art, scrapbook paper etc etc. I rarely use purple in scrapbooking (although I've done two LOs this month using purple, so figure!) but I do use a lot of blue & green shades. Hmmm, perhaps at the age of 53 it is time to declare that my favourite colour is teal, not purple.

Red. I use it, but probably not as much as I like it.

Green, and I do use it quite a bit on my pages in "nature-y" green shades (as opposed to kelly or fluorescent green).
Blues are a close second.

A favorite? like choosing only ONE?! I love all the colors, but especially blues and greens and purples and pinks, the cooler side usually... I don't like browns and earthy tones, although I can handle some woodgrain if it's set off with some beautiful rich greens and blues (think Heidi Swapp Wolf Pack). The colors of the 70s were my nightmare. If I could only have one color in my life I think it would be indigo blue, but preferably in all its shades. This is a basket of joy - the colors I'm working with in my latest crochet project (but not my photo - credit Attic24 blog). I can tolerate the yellow and muted tones because the blues and teals and purples are so beautiful.

Red is my favorite color but I use it in small doses since it's so bold. I like bright, happy reds like Summer Market and cozy reds like Farmhouse Kitchen.

I don't really have a favourite colour...and my scrapbooking reflects that I think - I use a wide variety of colours

Unpopular one amongst many here but pink is my jam. I dislike the red and orange leaning pinks but everything from baby pink through to bubblegum pink, shocking pink, Fuchsia to orchid (love purple too but the purple pinks are my favourite of them). If my husband wasn't around to reign my pink in my house would look very different and very pink. And yep I use quite bit of pink in my scrapbooking and card making.

Teal, then greens (any shade but olive), blues (any shade except sky/powder/baby blue), and fuchsia pink. After that I pretty much like all the other colors except for orange and purple, and I like lots of different color combos. I do use a lot of teals, blues, greens, and grays in my LOs (gray because it usually coordinates so well with the teal/blue/green families I use a lot). I don't use fuchsia pink in my layouts, except maybe in little pops of color to complement something else.
I don't use orange or purple on my pages unless the subject matter (or season: fall, spring/Easter) calls for it, and even then it's used sparingly. I'll gravitate more towards a peach/salmon than a straight up orange and burgundy or plum instead of straight purple.

Another pink fan. It’s not reflected in my scrapbooks often. It was more when dd was little.

My favorite colors are black, sage green and cranberry....especially for home decor.
For scrapbooking I use my favorite colors plus other bright and vibrant colors (darker purples, darker pinks, lime greens, reds, brighter blues, etc...).
I don't care for pastels or light colors.

Lavender is my favorite color.
Not so much reflected in my scrapping, though definitely used for Easter & some spring layouts.

My favorite color is pink. And yes, it seems like I have a lot of lines with pink in them. And I'm not afraid to use pink or flowers even on boy or man layouts.

Red is my favourite colour, but it is not one that I scrap with a lot. For some reason it's not a colour represented in many general lines. It comes out with school themes and Christmas, but not much beyond that.

Yellow is my favorite color and is the color of my scrafty room. However I pretty much like all colors and I like to decorate and scrapbook with them all.

Most shades of green but particularly a leafy or lime green.
I also love periwinkle and seafoam green. Those were always my favorite crayons growing up.
But who am I kidding. I'm an art teacher- the color wheel is my life. I like them all.
I will say that I'm not a huge fan of tones, however- colors that have grey mixed in with them. Otherwise known as most house paints at the hardware store. Whenever I want to paint a wall I'm always struck by how few of the available options are pure colors that haven't been greyed. I do like pure greys, though. Just not mixed with other colors.
I scrapbook with pretty much anything. I can't think of one color I favor more than another.

My fav colors are any sort of blue/green, teal, aqua, mint, turquoise color! LOL! And, I buy a lot of paper and such in those colors, but oddly, don't use them a lot in my scrapping! I'm starting to realize that now as my pile of those colors never goes down, cuz I'm not using it! I seem to scrap with a lot of blues and greens, pink and yellow too.

Purple, specifically periwinkle, is my favorite color. I am so glad that companies like Pink Fresh are using some shade of purple in their collections. I am determined to use it more in my scrapping and in my mixed media. Purple brings me joy!

Green was always my favorite color until I moved to the middle of a redwood forest. After years of being surrounded by nothing but green and brown, I've become partial to blues. Go figure. I still scrapbook with green because it's my son's go-to color and generally it goes with many of my photos.

Green. Not really. I mean I don’t scrap with green more than other colors but I think I scrapped about it in my about me TN
It probably is evident in my supplies if anywhere. I have more shades of green ink and more shades of green paper & cardstock than most other colors. But I don’t think that looking at the pages you’d just guess it was my favorite color. It’s just that I get a bit particular about having the right shade of paper and that shows up in how many greens I have. However I’m also very particular about getting the right shade for orange, red, brown, blue & yellow in that order. For some reason just the right orange for that pumpkin or fall leaf die cut is super important in the moment. Lol
