Purple. I like the color but i dont wear anything with it, rarely use it when i work… the only purple thing i have is my iPhone

[–] kajko@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

It's weird but I'm the same way with purple. My favourite colour that I don't ever wear.

[–] marshadow@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Warm green/yellowish green, silver, any metallic really. Except for rose gold which feels like an echo of an unpleasant sensation that I can’t place. Apparently I also like warm light blues and teals because for some reason I recently started accumulating things in that sort of color.

It;s a tie between pinks and purples. I loved and wore a lot of pink and purple as a child, and then rebelled against the "girliness" of it as a teenager and wore only earthy tones, which were really not that flattering. As an adult I've decided I can be a feminist who loves pink and purple. It's beautiful and also what looks good against my skin, so I don't fight it.

It is bit stereotypical, but I just love pink so much

Fun question.

Ever since I was young I've been a green guy even though I wear a lot more blue...

[–] KazuoZeru@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

First it was green, then later in my life it became blue, and now it's right in between with teal.

Teal

Though I've always loved all the cool colors: Blue, Purple, Green

[–] Limeade@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I love cool colors, too, but I don't like greens as much, they have to be blueish green or bright lime green, not the more brownish muted greens. I like fuchsia. I used to avoid that one because it's so over-the-top vibrant, but I have been embracing it lately. I like it paired with teal.

I always automatically answer "Purple or dark red" when asked this question but I always seem to default to light blues and cyan-like colours in my art.

[–] TimTheEnchanter@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Black and purple!

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

🟦 Blue, but I always liked the 🟦🟨🌸 blue-yellow-pink combination. Lately it's been ⬛🟨 black-yellow.

[–] TheGiantKorean@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Dark blues, like Prussian or Ultramarine.

[–] HowlsSophie@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Burgundy but I tend to favor color combinations over a single color. Burgundy/rose gold and brown/turquoise are the two I like most.

Royal Blue. Not that fake flat Materials nonsense, actual, deep, strikes you when you see it because it's almost metallically brilliant Royal Blue.

[–] metaltoilet@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Blue! Especially the lighter shades. Most of the things I own are blue which is entirely accidental. I’ll be buying something and when choosing a color I always gravitate towards the blue, not thinking about how much blue stuff I already own. 🤣

[–] Metafalls_@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Most shades of green and Verdigris

[–] basidialtiger@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Brown, with blue a close second.
