POLL: Do you prefer gold or silver (in holiday collections)?

I prefer silver. Not really a fan of gold.

I love red and silver and blue and silver together.

Silver. I find gold has too many variations. I know that probably sounds weird. And in general, maybe as a result of those variations in gold, I find I Like silver with everything, whereas I don't love gold with all colours.

silver primarily - unless we're talking a predominantly red collection, then gold

Il'll be the outlier saying bronze. 🤪 Recently flipped through a December Daily project in which I'd used bronze foil and it feels so festive, so cosy.

I voted for gold!

But I LOVE blue and silver holiday color combinations, too.

I really dislike gold foil so I prefer silver but would also prefer black foil, red foil, blue foil, green foil.. or just No Foil.

I wish manufacturers didn't think of it like gold or silver only. Just because I don't like gold doesn't automatically mean I want or expect silver. It means I want "not gold" - which can also mean other colors or no metallic foil. Some colors do not go with silver and other colors do not go with gold. Like when AE tried to use silver in their beach kit for "the people who like silver". That's an example where No Foil is the preferred choice because silver does not look good with that palette of colors/that vibe. Another example is using gold with those cool toned colors in last year's OLW kit - bleh. Just use white ink and no foil! Gold does Not work with every color, it just ruins the product.

Related- it feels like there is gold on everything released at Ali Edwards lately every product category has gold on it these days. I have bought very little from their physical releases this year because of this. I miss when black or white was the chosen neutral on things like word strips, tab stickers, transparencies or journal cards - they were a lot more versatile. It's almost like they decided to use yellow on every item. Or glitter on every item. Like imagine if every item in your home decor had some metallic foil on it? It would be so unbalanced. I really hope they back off to using foil like an accent again, e.g. adding to 10% of items or less.

I loved the year Ali had the black and bronze album and bronze accents.  Just love that it was different.  I would love to see years that are bronze or platinum gold just to mix things up!

These are all interesting points!

I love AE but am not really her customer. But I do appreciate the simplicity of her offerings, so I get your frustration if everything being released these days has a foil component. 

And I especially agree with your point that everything does not need foil. A lot of what I'm scrapping is old sailing photos, hiking photos and my husband's mountain biking photos. The badass mountain bikers my husband rides with just do not want to see gold foil, silver foil or any foil decorating the pages I make about their races / trips / trail days. 

I do love the look of foil, but I buy very little of it, because it just doesn't fit well with most of the projects I make.

I prefer silver, but/and I am scrapping Hanukkah; I love dark blue/navy and silver as a combo.

This is me. I am open to both depending on the other things included. 

I prefer gold, for Christmas and jewelry and all sorts of things. My husband loves silver and always wants me to put silver in my Christmas cards, it's a real problem in our marriage, haha.

I usually prefer gold but if I’m using blues I’ll go with silver.

Yes I think so
