....Off the shelves, and go running toward the check out line before you even look to see the company name?
Orange does it for me.
I can't get enough orange on my pattern paper. Stripes, dots, bold, muted, love it all!
I find it is so easy to put with kraft, white, or black cardstock (the three colors I have the most of).
I like how cheery it is. I like how fun it is. It reminds me both of summer (if it's bright and used with teals or pinks) and autumn, if it's darker and put with jewel-toned colors.
I love using gold sequins with it. Especially in the middle of a paper punched flower.
It just makes me happy every time I look at a layout with it.
What's your color?

Blue always has a tendency to leap off the shelves and into my basket. Blue for boys, the summer sky, the lake nearby and the ocean that I hope to return to someday soon.

Purple, but it has to be the right purple. Really tough to find so any time I see the shade I'm looking for I have to swoop it right up!

primary colours - it's so hard to find bright primary coloured paper and it works so well for photos of my Annabelle

I like duller colors so the paper doesn't fight with my photos.
And I like the prints to have softer edges. Hard edges make my blurry photos seem even blurrier.

In addition to orange, as noted in the OP:
-Purple. A gender-neutral shade can be paired with various other colors (e.g. white/black/kraft/brown/orange/aqua). It's the color of our son's basketball team last year, so I've recently become aware of how difficult purple is to find in scrap supplies!
-Male-inspired color palettes. For years pink has been included in most collections, even fall/Thanksgiving/winter/Christmas/etc. Although pink is my favorite color, it can only be used so much on layouts about our preteen son!

Blues/turquoise/teal and bright colors seem to always catch my eye and my wallet.

PINK, and if it is flowered I am really in trouble.

Aquas/Teals draw me to paper. High contrast draws me to paper. And the goil foil trend isn't hurting  |

Pastel pinks with soft teals, and anything with hearts or cameras.

If only I could narrow it down! Looking at my stash, I seem to have equal amounts of each color. I wish there were more purple patterned papers to choose from though.
