"I'll admit I may have seen better days,
but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail,
"(Margo Channing)
Colour
Purple is the soul-lifter Red, the flame of passion Yellow, the light of warmth Green, vibrant stem of life Pink, a whisper of beauty Orange beckons, take a chance Blue is the sea tide in us all ~Terri Guillemets
Yellow. We were a family of six and there was a toy set of nesting cups, six of them. The smallest was yellow, I was the youngest. My sister wasn't pleased at getting white. I've loved yellow ever since.
How can one pick only one color? I always say that my favorite color is the color of the sea in Cozumel, Mexico which includes greens and blues and teals and turquoise and purple.
I ll say Blue, but choosing is absurd for me. My quilts display a vibrant mix, the louder the better. Home is blue and white, facing the open Atlantic---except when other colors creep in and yell, Look at me, I am pretty too.
Blues and purples are the colours I'm drawn to, but I love all colours. I did take me years to like green again after wearing a bottle green uniform in high school for 4 years! xx
I don't have a favourite colour. Living with a painter you soon realise that colours change depending on the surroundings. I mean, I like pink, but only in small quantities, not a Barbara Cartland overload.
Of course your fav is yellow, John! While walking one day, I had on a yellow T shirt. A man saw me, waved and said, "When someone wears yellow, you know they are a sunny and warm person!" So there you have it. You're a sunny and warm person! It is my fav color as well.
Mine is red. I am looking for some red sheets for the bed. I haven't had any in a while and I think it would be well seeing how that is where all the passion is happening lately.
I love any shade of green but also adore a dark orange. When I was a teenager my whole closet consisted of clothing in every shade of green imaginable and not a lot else; maybe a bit of cream.

ReplyDeleteMine used to be deep blue, but recently I've been wearing more 'brights' - I think it's a reaction to how tough the world has been ...
ReplyDeleteGreens, gold, deep reds... I am enjoying reading everyone's responses. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteToday, it is ochre and reds and browns. Black and charcoal. Ashes and grey colors. Checking on the buds of the trees, there are hints of green.

ReplyDeleteI am more of a yellow, John is a rainbow

ReplyDeleteI always thought of you as being marble coloured
