We had the LEAST favorite thread and why....now let's dish on our FAVORITE colors and why. What one color is easiest for you to work with? Why? What color combos do you constantly reach for? Do you find yourself unable to resist certain seasonal/color combos because the colors are so easy to work with?
Let's chat!

For me the easiest colors to work with are fall type colors or anything "boy" related so thinks blues/greens/orange/yellow.
I am a complete sucker for almost anything Fall related but I think that is because the bulk of my photos are from there, we are SUPER busy during the fall months and I find them the most fun and easiest to scrap.
Also now anything black/green since those are the kids team colors, I am just gobbling those up too.

I use tons of black cardstock. For some reason it is just needed for so many things on my layouts. It is the one paper I do not want to scrap without. I also use mostly black letter stickers.
The color combos I like - that's a much harder question. Being such a hardcore theme scrapper I am going to want to work with whatever fits the theme. I would say I do like when I can use gold, silver or glitter but that's not often.
I also love to work with brights - lots of Echo Park and Photoplay type colors.

I used to use mostly blues and greens because I had a lot of outdoor pics. Now I use almost anything.
I love fall colours, but I have hardly any fall pictures. Two pages for Thanksgiving maybe, so I had to quit buying them.

Spring/citrus colors for me, even pink. LOL Fresh greens and yellows are by far my most used colors. I'm drawn to fruit colors - lemon, lime, blueberry, raspberry, tangerine, strawberry, apple green, etc.

Navy and grey! Not necessarily together, but they are just so versatile and easy to use!

I do mostly mixed media work, and I LOVE bright colors (especially pink, teal, and orange). Color makes me happy. Bright is what I strive for.

We take lots of beach vacations, so a goofy crab or school of fish also make me smile.

I love all fall collections.
I love the bright colors in Felicity Jane kits, although they are pastel brights, if you know what I mean.
I love pink, too. I hope that doesn't get me kicked off this board!

Given the choice she would pick pink anytime.....such a tomboy except that LOL!

I am a Jewel tone lover - darker green, burgundy, etc. I have been known to stray based on what photos I am using, but I just moved my supplies from the garage into my new room and noticed that the jewels were prevalent. I wonder how many of us have strayed as the years have gone by due to trends?

I love the bright colors in Felicity Jane kits, although they are pastel brights, if you know what I mean. I think this is a good description for where I fit. I like working with yellow but it has to be the right shade. Bo Bunny had a travel line a while ago that had the perfect yellow in it so I bought several sheets. I'm really loving navy and turquoise and even the dreaded pink.

I love earth colors and muted grayed out tones. I mean, I like pretty colors too, but I find it difficult to work with colors that are so vibrant that they dominate the page. I want people to look at the photos first and the papers and other elements afterward.

I actually thought I was the only one in the world who disliked (perhaps despised) pink. I have found several of my people here. I blame my mother who had that third child because she wanted a girl. I was dressed in pink and given dolls for years. I have pictures of me sobbing when I got dolls. I turned out to be the biggest tomboy on the block. I will try to be more accepting of "you people' who acknowledge pink as a legitimate color.

I uase white, black and now Bazzil kraft for card bases mostly, although I do like Stampin' Up! A4 coloured card and occasionally splash out and buy some.
After that I'll use any colour at all, because I tend to print everything. I do have a 6 x 6 paper pad of Paris papers I love, and an all black kit I bought at Christmas.
I didn't like pink until I turned 45 - then suddenly I have two pink clocks, a pink Herma dispenser and a pink Big Bite!

I don't discriminate in my colour choices - other than the neon bright colours.
I use it all, I love it all - EVEN PURPLE! - although I do use lots of black for matting & alphas.

I will try to be more accepting of "you people' who acknowledge pink as a legitimate color. Ironically the only place I like pink is in my scrapping. I will always choose the non pink tools if there is an option but when it comes to paper and embellishments I'm all in. That must make me a manufacturer's dream, I've been well conditioned to like what is widely available.

I love colour! I scrap by season, and my most used clours cycle through:
In spring, I use pastels: Aqua, mint green, lilac, peach, soft yellows...
Summer brings out the brights: bright blue, Kelly green, bold yellow, also more Kraft in honor of sand.
Fall leaf colours: brown & gold & orange & red & copper.
My winter go-to's are navy, soft blue, silver, and christmas Reds & greens.
Through the tear I seem to go through a lot of black cs, as well as white,cream, and brown.
