I wear a lot colors but tend to favor hot pink and red because I’m told those colors look really good on me. I will wear brown pants but will not wear brown tops or dresses or any brown close to my face after my dad kept asking me if I was ill once when I wore a brown dress. After I changed he told me it was the color. I have not worn brown that close to my face since then.
I usually stay away from pastels. Not because I don’t like the colors. I love pastels on others but they are not enough for me. I like extra and bold colors.

I like gray, navy, dark green, and white. I’ll wear just about any color, though I don’t look good in yellow and orange.

Nothing is completely off the table. I enjoy color and some pattern. Right now I tend towards fall palates of plum, navy, mustard and the softer earthy palates of terra-cotta, mauve, soft evergreen. Browns and deep reds/burnt orange look good on me as well.
I currently have nothing that is only white (cream yes, but not just white), and my pastels are very limited and the few I have fall into that “earthy beige” type. I don’t have anything fluorescent.
Pants are usually jeans, black, greys and browns (no white or khaki right now). I still have a handful of colorful leggings. I pretty much only wear the couple plaid ones.

Black with blue jeans. I don't own pants that aren't jeans and I own very few dresses. I'd like to vary the pants up a bit but until I can use dressing rooms I'm stuck with what I have.
Most of my shirts are black, grey, green, or blue. No pastels or whites- those don't work with my job. I have just a few red things.
Did I say black?

Pinks and purples dominate my wardrobe, all shades and intensities.
I will wear most any color, although I am over brown, although I did use to have quite a bit in my work wardrobe.
I usually don't have much red in my closet bit this fall I bought a red pencil skirt and a fun red plaid sheath dress for the holidays.
A look at my cardigan collection will show all the colors, even yellow and weird leaf/lime green. I love to have a sweater to coordinate with whatever I am wearing.

I’m a winter so I’ve always loved and worn black, white, and jewel tones with the occasional other-colored item I just had to have. Right now I have a few pieces in burgundy thrown in there from the lines a few years ago because I loved them, not because they looked great on me . I do have a few things for summer in pastels, the colors I choose look decent on me, but not really great like jewel tones. This does not include the shirts supporting my favorite sports teams! Oh, and you can find purple in any shade, it’s my happy color.

It’s easier to say what I don’t wear. I don’t wear white or cream or orange. I think I have shades of all other colors in my wardrobe. I use to never wear yellow but found myself with 2 mustardy colored tops the year that I quite like. Black bottoms are a go to but there is a lot of blue in my wardrobe, too. Purple is my favorite but I’ve found it’s hard to find stuff I like that is purple.
Edited to add that neon colors are a hard pass for me!

I wear black, charcoal, and navy on the bottom most of the time and for the top I pull for colors of the sea or some shades of plum or burgundy.

I usually wear pants and I love to wear black pants. Sometimes very rarely I'll wear charcoal pants with a black top. But black pants are what I usually wear.
It's a nice neutral color and leaves me to play with color on the top. I love blues and greens. I look better with bright, jewel colors that bring life to my face. Pastels make me look drawn out and sick. I have a very light complexion with medium brown hair (colored these days) and green eyes. Red looks great on me but it has to be the right red. I hate orangey reds. Speaking of which I don't care for warm colors-orange, brown, peach, pink and so on. They don't look good on me. Cool colors look much better. Turquoise I've been told looks great on me. Gray on top makes me look sick and washed out.

Is camouflage a color? I was going through my closet recently and I am amazed at how much camo has shown up - sweatshirts, joggers, scarves, jackets, and pants. And not just green - I have light shades, shades of blue, black & gray. As far as straight up colors go I have a lot of black, gray, tan, blue, burgundy, shades of pink, and teal.

No black or white. No cool tones.
