What are your favorite and least favorite colors to scrap with?

I don't enjoy the orange/black halloween colour schemes. We don't celebrate it and the colour combination doesn't work for me at all. I love the orange/teal combnation though. In my heart pinks, blues and purples are always right up there, neutrals are also perennial.

 

I like most colors but tend to use a lot of green/blue/pink. I love purple and am always happy to see that in a kit. I seldom use much yellow or orange but a bit as an accent is ok.

 

I love pink, all pinks, but Barbie Pink is my favorite. I know some scrappers just avoid pink because it's too girlish. I am the opposite. If the kit is a mix of brown, green, and blue, then it's probably a boyish kit, so I won't even look at it.
IRL life I don't like brown and green, but if there is a wooden background paper in the kit, I will use it for sure. And I'd rather use foliage in a real shade of green, rather than a recolored element that's too teal in order to match the palette.

 

My favorites are blue & green, but I've noticed lately I do scrap a lot of pink too. Since I've been on CTs, I've learned to scrap with whatever falls in my lap. LOL

But, if thinking of what I most likely wouldn't buy, I'd say neutral colors. I want colors to explode off my pages.

 

I avoid pink being the main color on my page. I am not a fan of the color at all especially very bright pink colors. I don't mind more muted pink colors. But if a kit has a focus on pink I won't even look at it even if it might be a theme I need. I have enough pink already.

I tend to use a lot of blue, teal, green especially the lighter shades for background colors. I've been more drawn lately to more muted colors especially in the browns/greens/blues. I've been scrapping a lot of outdoor/nature/hiking/beach photos for my cousin and those colors bring out the gorgeousness of their photos. For the crazy, fun photos of the grandkids, I go for more bright colors like red/yellow/orange.

I guess you could say I use just about everything except pink. I use a plain background color 99% of the time and if a kit has a plaid paper, it will be on the layout in some way. I use more papers on my layouts because I love Liz's templates with lots of layers of papers.

I would love a kit with purple, red and black as the main colors since those are my favorite colors to wear!

 

I love all the colors! I also love a good neutral kit or a darker themed kit. I'm not a huge fan of orange, but I do love to have it as an accent color.

 

I'm not a fan of pink and I find although I like purple as a colour, I find it hard to scrap with. Something about how it doesn't really go with most skin tones. I'm also not a fan of the typical Halloween palette of black, orange, and purple. I find it overpowering.

I love a neutral palette (like Allison Pennington's Subfloors!!) and will use those over and over as a based for my page. And I'm a fan of papers with tiny patterns (vs big patterns), since I like to use a scrap here and there, the tiny pattern works better for that purpose than a big pattern.

 

I love colorful bright multicolor cheerful kits!

 

I would probably say the same. Orange/black would be my least favorite. I like pops of color. Teals, greens, pinks, blues.

 

I tend to steer away from primary color kits.

 

I'm with Susie. I generally avoid scrapping with primary colors on the same layout. I love them solo or in other combinations, but my brain associates the trio of colors with early school years. This isn't a bad thing, I'm just all finished with scrapping my kids' primary years.

 

On the flip side, I tend to use a lot of neutral creams and tans, with a pop of color. My pop color will most often be a fuchsia or other jewel tone. The "why" is varied. Fuchsia / raspberry has always been my favorite color, so I find ways to work it into layouts. Easy to do now, especially, since I dyed my hair raspberry during covid closures, lolol.

 

Interesting that so many don't like the Halloween colors. I love the combo of black, orange, purple and slimey green. However - I really never use the Halloween kits I do have, since the themed elements are so specific to Halloween, and we don't celebrate that. You never can satisfy evereyone, huh? LO

 

Take out the slimey green and I also love the black, orange, purple combination of colors. I've used a few Halloween kits for Halloween costume photos of my cousin's daughter/grandkids but usually stick to the elements that are not so specific to Halloween. Funny thing is the orange/black combo is not the prominent color for any of the layouts, the purple is whether it is a dark purple or a lighter shade.

I've got several friends that live in school districts that have the black/orange combo for their school colors. Thankfully mine is red/white with an accent of black.

 

Orange is definitely my least favourite colour to use, while blue and green are my faves.

 

I don't have any color I hate honestly. I'll scrap them all.

My favorite is crafts and oranges and yellows... or blues though

 

I love all the colors!!! But my background papers tend to be neutral - white, tan, grey, light blue, black. They can be arty - but I do not mesh well with patterned papers. Yipes! I am striving this year to find my "palette." I have not been successful yet. I seriously love all the colors.
