Spin off the group Family photos thread and being told to wear a certain color scheme.
In your daily life, what colors do you usually wear?
My wardrobe consists of black, medium to darker purple, cranberry, burgundy, sage green, olive green, moss green, darker grey, colbalt blue, indigo blue, etc... No white, no yellow, no red, no khaki, no pastels.

Blues and greens are my favorites. I wear some red, pink and purple, never orange or yellow. Neutral pants and then color around my face. I almost never wear white and definitely never black/white mixes. Those don't look good on me at all.

You know I've been working on my wardrobe while I do a 100 day challenge in my dress. And I'm getting to the point where I think I should only wear the colors that truly look good on me.
And basically besides black, white, and gray that leaves me with red, pink, purple and green. These are my best colors. And I'm thinking I'm not going to bring anything new into the house outside of those colors.

I wear a lot of black and charcoal grey. But I also wear a lot of white with jeans. I also love a dark plum, navy and mustard yellow.
I don’t wear red, orange, pastels, and most bright colors. Ok I take that back as I’m thinking about in winter. In summer I do love white tops with brightly colored shorts.

No white, no yellow, no red, no khaki, no pastels. My wardrobe is the complete opposite of yours! I LOVE colour, and find dark colour depressing. I particularly dislike olive/sage/moss/forest green, burgundy and grey haha! I do own a fair few items in black - pants and jackets/cardigans for work. But I always wear a bright top with them. The colours that look best on me are musk pink (I've seen it described as taffy pink), aqua, mint green, and white.

Black, white, blue, purple. I love red and pink, but realized some time ago I really don't look good in them.

Hmm. I really have a rainbow in my closet- I love color and I love pattern. And I also love neutrals. It would be easier to say what I have the least or rarely wear and that would be orange and blue (besides navy). My fav is probably black and I also love burgundy/red/cranberry/maroon- anything in that family. Love gray and olive, too.

I like variety. I am cool, but not dramatic enough for a winter, so softer than jewel tones. Other than yellow and orange it's a rare color that doesn't show up in some variation in my wardrobe. My favorites are probably teal and burgundy - but there are tons of shades of blues and quite a bit of the neutrals.

Black That is pretty much my standard ... oh, and a few pink things because it's my fav colour ... but mostly black I don't wear anything that has a pattern other than small plaid

The mainstays of my wardrobe are blue and red, with some periwinkle/lavender, pinks and coral thrown in. Nearly all of that is in bright shades as I look awful in pastels. In the winter I'll add in a rich burgundy. The black I have is mostly in basics (pants/skirt/sheath dress).

Black, gray, red, pink, lavender and blue are the colors that I wear most. I am cool and pale, so no oranges, brown, yellows, or olive green.

Purples, pinks and blues look good on me. I like black for my neutral. Orange and white don't look good on me.

I don't wear white EVER- my wedding dress wasn't even white! It was watercolor jewel tone roses on beige organza.
NO pastels!
I wear lots of blues/greens/gray/black.
I love love love jewel tones.
Hardly ever wear yellow or orange.
Always denim bottoms- shorts, crops, boot cut.

black, white, blue, dark purple, red
I'm really not sure what colours look good on me and I've mostly bought clothes based on the 'it fits(ish) and is cheap' principle coupled with clothes that were handed down to me so my wardrobe is a bit of a disaster. I'm working on that slowly - I now own two pairs of jeans that fit and are comfortable.

I wear ALL the colors, including non-colors like black, grey, and white. I don’t really do pastels, though.

Way back in the dark ages, I had "my colours done" as we use to say, lol. I was never into clothes much and my parents gave me the session for my birthday when I finished university. It was actually very helpful and I learned a lot about colour.
I am still not a big shopper so I find it pretty helpful as I can just walk into a shop and look for specific colours - I am a summer and lucky for me that includes pink, my favourite colour. I wear a lot of blue in various shades as well and navy is my neutral.

I wear a variety of colors, but no pink, orange, yellow or pastels (except one sweater that is baby blue). In the fall and winter I seem to have a lot of ivory, jewel tones, brownish red, gray.

The basics in my wardrobe are black, brown, cream, navy and gray. I incorporate warm yellows, rusts, greens and blues into those basics. I don't wear any shades of red or purple ranging from deep jewel tones to pastels.

I gravitate towards darker colors - black, grey, red, greens. I don't care for navy or brown. Definitely no yellow, unless it is a small accent. I like purple, but for some reason I don't buy a lot of purple clothing.

My go-to outfit is black pants (winter) or capris (summer) with a black or white collared shirt (golf shirt or polo) and then add a hit of colour. I love bright red or rich green, blue in any shade. Pastels make me fade into the woodwork, and bright yellow or orange are not fav’s. I do like a bold gold or a deep peach, though.

Light, baby girl pink. I have too many tops and sweaters in this shade to count.
Goes good with black or blue jeans.
Lately people have been commenting that I really look better in light shades of blue because I have blue eyes. I do have a few light blue tops, sweaters.
Bottoms - blue skinny jeans. Black skinny jeans or usually black leggings.
Kind of mad at myself for not having more blue tops. I worked for years in retail and have um….. lots of clothes. Mostly light pink.

Navy is my staple but like AussieMeg I usually team it with bright colours. Jewel/peacock colours - aqua/turquoise/cobalt blue/teal/emerald green colours are what suit me best I have one yellow/black patterned shirt in my wardrobe but it just doesn't suit me I've decided. I never wear peach, rust/orange, pink or burgundy colours.

My "uniform" is black pants every day with a different color top. I think mine are mostly blues, reds, greys... But I can tell you what I do NOT wear much of -- green and purple. Despite the fact that I do like bright green (none of that olive stuff, ick... it looks absolutely horrible on me) and purple I never seem to buy it. I know this for a fact because of subbing on St. Patrick's Day and not having one single green shirt to wear. And then one day it was "support our military day" at school and we were supposed to wear purple then. Nope, no purple. For green I wore a scarf of dd's that had green in it, and for purple I raided dd's closet and wore one of her dance school sweat shirts.

Rich earth tones: mustard, olive, browns/camel. No pastels. No red, no pink.
And of course black and grey. So much grey that my daughter-in-law jokingly refers to my "groutfits".

This is pretty much me, with the exception a few sports-related tops that are bright orange or red (I look cadaverous in them but oh well).
