I like black and white
brown and creamy type colors
I love patterns with colors that play off one another I recently bought a skirt that has pinks and greens, lovely. Lately, I've been loving navy and pink.

On men, I LOVE brown, especially brown w/pinstripes, dreamy. :)

For clothes: I wear a lot of navy and cream at work, and lavendar, pink, and blue outside work.

Shoes: Tan and navy.

House: mine is sage green, white and dark grey. I also like light yellow or wedgewood blue with white trim.

Room: I had a dream about a fourplex with white walls and aqua and gold accents--it was beautiful.

Hair: I find light blond and black attractive, but I wouldn't dye my hair these colors.

Nails: any natural-looking color.

Flowers: pink and white.

Cars: it depends on the model.

Appliances: white.

My favorite colors are usualy soft femine colors, and colors that make my eyes look best. I have blue eyes, so I like wearing blues and blue greens, aqua shades look best on me. I like light pinks and violets. I painted my bedroom a pale yellow because its such a cheerful, happy color and it reminds me of a Joni Mitchell song I like.

Another vote for Jadite Green here, along with --

Sage Green
Emerald Green
Cream
Maroon
Cadet Blue
Dark Royal Blue
Technicolor Red (kind of a slight tinge toward brickish)
Burnt Sienna
Old Newsprint (don't quite know the proper name for this color, but it's kind of an off-tan/yellowish-white such as old magazine pages get. I had it custom mixed at Sherwin Williams, and did my living room walls in it!)

So funny! Just the other day I was thinking of starting a thread on everyone's favorite color combinations.

My favorite colors last summer were green & brown but this summer I'm leaning more toward navy, cream & red. I'm not sure why but I think it may be because I'm into nautical symbolism at the moment.

I like deep colors on clothes because of my skin tone; I think I look dumb in pastels. My favorite colors have to be jade green, chocolate brown, light grey, most blues; especially navy, and deep reds. The only time I like pastels is on flowers and trees.

Here are my faves

What a fun question for me to answer because I'm a very color-oriented person by nature. In my house I love sage green, light gold, taupe, hints of antique red (orangish). The only blue that ends up in my home is usually in artwork. Clothes: black, beige, peach, terracotta, brown, taupe, antique red, chamois yellow - all muddy warm colors. Luckily my husband likes the same colors for our home, and we wear a lot of the same colors - brown, taupe, white. He doesn't wear pink or red! He looks amazing in his tan stripe vintage suit, with a fedora to match!
