fave colour 2019 edition | Pad Patter 1.18

1. What's your favourite colour at the moment and how is it represented in your life?
(Like do you wear it regularly or have you painted a room in your house or have a car that colour?)

PURPLE - I don't wear it a lot, but I'm usually writing with a purple pen even at work, have purple notebooks, my phone is purple (Samsung 9+) and my case is as well, I grab for purple Kleenex boxes little things like that.

2. What do you think of Living Coral?
(Pantone says it's " An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge" )

Ehh it's pretty in scrap kits, but I wouldn't wear it or use it in my life other than that.

 

I agree with you Jenn.. Merlot is a great color

 

Of course you would call it Merlot! Speaking of rich neutrals - I also love a rich Coffee brown !

 

Yup me too Hugs

 

Now I do love a good coffee brown or a chocolate brown. I wear brown a lot.

Yeah, if a kit has too much pink, I just move along...

 

Purple is my fave. I did have a purple accent wall,, but that has since been painted over. I dyed some of my hair purple once. It had a bit of a shock factor, but still professional. I will probably do it again, it blends really well with my dark brown hair. I LOVE to write with purple sharpies and purple pens. Please tell me I'm not the only one with the pen/sharpie problem. Aside from the wall, I don't decorate with purple. I also don't wear purple, except for workout gear. I did have a purple car, but that was not really by design.

I'm not a big fan of coral. I had a fun purse that color once, but it never looked good with anything! The color is pretty, but I'm not a big fan. Too orangey I think.

 

I will admit to having a few purple pens around.

 

My favorite color is Ruby Red. I like to wear red and my car is red. In fact, her name is Ruby.

I like the Pantone Coral. Actually, our family room is a lower level (between main floor and basement) and has wood paneling on the bottom of the walls and the painted upper looks very much like that color swatch. I was going for a terra cotta look but got lured away by the store's paint swatch name for that color - Panic.

 

1. I've always said my favorite color is purple, but I honestly don't have that much purple floating around my home or my wardrobe. I'm wearing a purple tee shirt right now, but hmmmm.... can't think of much besides that. I'd say the best represented color in my wardrobe is maroon followed closely by navy. Those are my favorites for clothing. My home is an apartment with plain jane cream walls, and unfortunately the decor just isn't my style, kind of drab and brown.

2. Honestly I laugh every time I think how silly it is that there is a "color of the year." Nothing wrong with it, just really funny to me. I mean, who is so darn special that they get to pick a color that is revered above all others for the year? LOL. Anyway, I do like the color. To me, it's more about the mix of colors used though, so it depends what you put the coral with...

 

I agree with Stefanie @Eyeore. It's orange, and I really don't like orange!

I always seem to gravitate towards jewel tones, especially purples and burgundys. They're my feel-good colors!

 

fav color would be a toss up between purple and teal i’d say if I just looked at my clothes and accessories. To be honest though I love most of the clear jewel tones as they suit me the best.

As far as the color of the year, I like it but I don’t love it enough to go out and buy things in that color. I tend to stay away from orange/yellow/brown, anything that would be typically fall or autumn colors

 

Funny about color....I just got a pair of leggings that were advertised as hunter green which to me is the color of Hunter green boots. Not exactly according to Land's End. I really dislike the shade of these leggings but friends all said "Yes, that's hunter green." (now I see that the color is ok inside in soft lighting but in the bright winter sunlight - ugh)

I like that coral a lot and do not see it as orange or pink at all. More like a deep peach. Somehow I think I had something coral I liked in the past and most likely when we lived in Thailand because it's def a color that goes with the tropics imho. But there are a lot of kits here that do use navy blue and coral. I like that combo.

I am trying to pick a very dark blue for the bedroom to go with some tribal oriental rugs I have with dark blue, deep orange and tan. I'm thinking of Hague Blue or Hale Navy as a switch from a deep deep forest green I've had for over 20 years. The room has 4 large windows and gets the afternoon sun so it's never dark except at night.

But my favorite color? RED, true fire engine red and when I had a Porsche it was that red. (No, no tickets ever. LOL) My dining room IS painted a deep deep red - a Claret red - and I've loved it since the day we painted it - 2004 plus I wear red a lot in the winter. But it needs to be a true clear red, cause if it has too much blue I look yellow.

 

My favourite colour has always been yellow. And it still is. I’m always drawn to it so I have quite a few yellow decor item las including my night stands.

The 2019 Pantone colour is amazing. I actually want to paint my linen closet that I recently thrifted. I just need to find the time to get to it.

As you can see, I love colour. It just makes me happy.

 

OK with the coral. Usually love bold colors- saturated ones. But this coral is "strong" enough for a hug from me. Turquoise is by far my favorite color. It's in my house and my wardrobe, and in some way nearly every piece of art I create.

Yellow is popping up in my life this year. I'm a bit mystical- I believe there is a reason I am drawn to specific colors -especially if it last for an extended time.
I am with @BevG - not a fan of pink, and sorry, Bev, but not purple. Designers here use pink alot, but that's ok, one can always recolor, lol. I do use "power pink"- a darker shade of old school hot pink. It harmonizes well with my other faves: apple green, eggplant, and tangerine:

My car is chartreuse. YUP. That's pretty much me.

 

my color as I grow up was lilac instead of pink. I simply loved the shades of lilac, lavender, and those hues; my backpack, and school supplies were from this color. Nowadays I see that I have some clothes, scarfs on purples and soft shades and I love it!

about the Pantone's coral, I love it and I can see me using it in accessories or clothes!
