So I know a lot of us over completely over all the pink and would welcome some fresh colors.
What is your favorite color to scrap with and do you find it hard to come by in patterned papers or embellishments? I think the subject matter you scrap most often can also be a huge factor in the colors. I do a lot of travel (beach) pages and cat pages. Very, very few kid pictures to scrap.
I love jewel tones and love to scrap with navy. I find usable navy/dark blues hard to come by. I've seen a couple lines that may be promising during the recent releases, but will need to see them in person to see if the colors are right.
I also like using natural colors (browns & greens) and those are much easier to find than the navy blues.

I don't have a single favorite color, rather I like bright colors with white tones, rather than with cream tones.
The exception is OA. The cream tones work with the vintage vibe.

I love the jewel tones. Navy, Chocolate, Hunter...stuff like that.

Soft minty/pool/aqua colors, navy blue, krafts/browns, bright golden yellows, happy oranges, kelly green, and even grey. I've also found that red embellishments are some of my faves and I always run out (even though I'd never buy/use red paper). I do still like pink though - just more like a shock of hot pink. I grew up being discouraged from liking pink because it was too girly, and now that I am over that bad conditioning, I enjoy it.
My most recent journal, I realized belatedly, has either yellow or orange or both on every single page. Apparently my brain is over winter and moving on to warm colors already!

Navy...I'm still working on my December Daily and working on a navy page for that right now.  |

My colour choices are usually seasonal, but my most used cardstocks are Navy, Red, White, Black, Copper or Brown, Kraft, and Aqua. Any patterned papers that tone in with these colours would be awesome!
In summer and at Christmas I use a bit more grass green. I would love to see more clear or cloudy sky papers to use for my outdoor photos any season.
For winter photos I like soft blue (like shadows on snowdrifts).
For fall I like the foliage colours: orange, gold, burgundy, to go with my copper & brown.
The only time I use much pastel is for Easter pages, but I don't make many of those in a year. Or maybe for baby photos, but my youngest dgs has turned two and is taking life at a run, so not a lot of soft pages in his future!

I would scrap more with navy if I could find more of it. It's one of those colors that's good year 'round, and it goes with everything.

I love red. I was trying to add some red touches to a layout a few days ago and realized I don't have nearly enough red for someone who loves red.
I could also use some more navy supplies.

I find that a lot of the navy ends up with a patriotic theme of red/white/blue. Some of it is useful for year-round, but not enough of it.

I really like yellow although I mostly use it as an accent colour. Of all my colour sorted embellishments this is the container that is the emptiest because I reach for it the most frequently. I also scrap mostly travel photos and find that yellow goes with almost everything.
Looking at my flickr gallery I apparently also use a lot of black, white, aqua, and pale to mid pinks.

I know I’m in the minority and please don’t throw rocks at me...but I love pink. I probably have pink in almost every PL spread. But that matches my daily life...I’m a sucker for a cute pair of pink pajamas. My Christmas tree was pink. My phone is rose gold. I’m currently wearing fuzzy pink socks. I’d probably drive a pink car if I could, lol. |

Navy blue. I love purple and use it in my Elle's Studio kits, but because it tends to pair well with colors like blue and teal, it ends up making spreads looked washed out if I only use those colors plus black and white...I really do love using it in spite of it's lack of popularity when I can get good color pairings, but it's not a color that is easy to find.
One thing that really blew me away (in a 'how is this possible?' sense) was that navy was almost unheard of when I started scrapbooking in 2010. It's still not a hugely included color (and when it is, it's often coupled with pinks, blech) even now, but it is becoming much more common to see. I absolutely love navy and find beyond black from memento, my most commonly used ink is Night of Navy from Stampin Up. It is just a perfect shade of blue and goes with so much.
ETA: This is my favorite color in real life, too. 99.9% of the time, I wear jeans and when I need something formal, I usually have to go shopping for it. My Honda is navy (too bad we're trading her in soon and we're unlikely to end up with another navy car...it makes me really sad), my jeans are usually the darkest blue I can find unless I happen to only have really dark blue jeans in my wardrobe at the time and need to fill in with some other shades (I wear jeans out in 3-6 months, usually, because it's all I wear) and I wear a lot of blue in tops, too. I'm a redhead and cool colors look much better on me than warmer ones, so maybe that's part of it...but I do find navy a really easy color to work with in my scrapbooking. It goes with almost everything.

But honestly, if a page looks nice to my eyes, the colors don't really matter. |

I don't have a favorite, but it seems I go towards blues in various shades the most. I prefer a color palette of primary colors that are more on the muted side. Companies like Simple Stories, Echo Park, and Carta Bella is what I gravitate towards.
I typically scrap events, so most of my pages are more theme oriented and I use papers and embellishments that match that.

I scrap with a lot of teal, but I can never own enough navy blue stuff.
I also like bright colors.
