You Select YOUR Color for 2018!

Sookie Says — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 03:55:32 GMT

I have a question for all, if YOU could select the new color for 2018, what color would you select or colors, list as many as you like,but only one can be the new 2018 color, is this fair? I have a thing for grey, I know many say it's a boring color, but I can pair this color w/ nearly anything. I also love black & white, I know another cope out, but I am being totally honest & I guess boring. If anyone wants to name their color for 2018, pls jump in. I am choosing grey for 2018, sorry if this disappoints & I apologize for any mis-spelled words.....

I love grey too, and most of us probably own more black than we need to - but red and orange have become my two new favorites - the older I get the more I love vibrant colors!

Mallard blue. I'm not sure if I own anything this color, but I seem to have grown fond of it.

Black, charcoal, heather grey. All great anchors for me. I've done so much color in my life....I color with my jewelry now....I'm a blue-eyed blonde in my fifties.....classic and simple now.

I do choose my own color of the year, every year. I wear mostly basics and I choose an accent color to complement my basics. This spring/summer, my color for 2018 will be a soft, powder blue. Why? Because my favorite spring/summer bag is poweder blue and last summer I bought a pair of blue sandals and a pair of blue floral sandals. Also, I often wear jeans with white tees or with crisp white button down shirts. I'm looking forward to having "the blues" in 2018.

Purple of course!

Though I must say that blue spruce does sound pretty.

I also love bright orange.

I used to have mostly black clothes

north of the mason dixon line.

But when I got further south, you look like you are going to a funeral. The colors are brighter.So I started getting some.

Also when I was in Jr. High, my favorite color was orange. I had a beautiful orange sweater and printed orange wool skirt. My favorite outfit.

I didn't wear orange again until pretty much 45 years later. Its so cheery. And I think purple is too

This is a fun thread

I think picking one color as the Pantone color of the year is pointless and frankly silly.

My favorite colors are grey,black,purple & blush pink!!

@makena-

I agree with you. I think the "pantone color" is just a fashion marketing idea to get people to spend their money, hopefully thinking they of course need to get"THE" color for the year.I never care what the fashion is at the moment. Like most of us I think we wear what we like!

But this is a fun thread to say what color you like.

What are some of your favorite colors?

It's strange but like someone said, the older I get, the more I like different maybe more colorful clothes even though I like classic styles more.

I look best in browns, tans, greens. Im a redhead. I wear those colors, but I tend to wear more blues, and black than those. I never, I repeat never (lol) wear red, pink, orange, or any tops with flowers "all over" I would pick any shade of blue as a 2018 color.

Lately it seems that my eye has really been caught by RED, BLUE, and everything in between, especially PUPLE. But, if I had to choose only one of those to be my color for 2018 it would be RED!!

Hugs . . .

I love color and am very electic in what I would call my favorites - most of them! For me I consider greens and browns to be my neutrals.

I would say my least favorite would be black and white, and even tho saying that, I like black and white mixed with either red, bright pink, fuchsia or peridot green or bright greens. Then to the opposite side, I also like it mixed with greys.

I like mixing colors; therefore, I like prints and wear a lot of them. Especially like brights.

Also like the pales - like pink, light blue, lilac.

Least favorite mix of colors would be blue/purple combos. As far as pantone colors, they mean nothing to me. I have too many favorites to be told what color I should wear this year.

My wardrobe is a mishmash of colors, neutrals and styles - I just love clothes and have no favorite looks except outfits must look well thought out and coordinated.

My new passion is Peruvian Pink. (In jewelry). It's like a very light shade of pink, soft and gentle. Not harsh or striking.

Lately I've been purchasing more shades of gray since it's a great neutral which goes with most colors. Love the new antique pink rose (hope that's the correct name).

This winter I've been into grey, it suits my mood. Got a new grey handbag and a charcoal grey long wool blend coat.

I love green, except for lime green. It's a tough color to find in clothing. Just got an emerald green dress, and one of my favorite pieces of clothing is a teal green suede jacket that I got at the end of last winter for 30 something dollars. I feel like wearing green brings out my eyes. I always love wearing red too, makes me feel more confident.

I love shades of purple. All shades of purple.So the pantone color of the year is perfect for me. I'm glad we will be seeing a lot of purples out in the stores because they chose this color.
