Week 24 - Favorite Color 

Do I have a favorite color?  I like lots of colors. In my wardrobe, I seem to go through stages. Back around 1985 I went through a pink stage.  I bought and wore lots of pink. I haven't had another pink stage since then.

I also went through a green stage about 1986. Not just any green, emerald green. I bought a green suit and I had a green had to match. The suit is gone, I still have the green hat but I haven't worn it in ages. I still like emerald green and will wear a few other shades of green, but it's not my favorite color.

I went through a fuchsia stage. I especially like it paired with turquoise. I like fuchsia, but you can't always find it.

So what is my favorite color?  If I had to name just one, my first choice through out my life time would probably be red, second is Purple, and third is blue.

The being said, I like my colors vibrant and true. I'm not into mauve, mustard yellow, olive green, or steel blue. I'm into cherry red, kelly green, turquoise blue, and Navy.

When I think of my family, I think of the color red. My self, my two sisters, my mother, my maternal grandmother and many of the women on my mom's side wear a lot a red.  With our dark hair and olive skin, we look very good in red.

When I think about my paternal grandmother, I think about pink and purple.

When I think about the color orange, I think about my sister Shirley. I don't wear alot of orange, but Shirley does and she looks good in orange. In the 1970s after she got her first job, she bought a set of Samsonite luggage in the prettiest shade of orange. She had no problems spotting her luggage at the airport.
