What is your favorite color to wear? (and more...)

Sheila

Veteran

Do you have a favorite color to wear? I mean the one you are always attracted to like a magnet, when you spy it on a rack of clothes in the store? I have been wondering what kind of connection, if any, there might be to two other factors: hair color and the geographic area where we live.

Just for fun, quickly list 3 things, and be specific, please:

1. favorite color to wear (or top 3)
2. your hair color (most of the time!)
3. where you live

I'll start:

Cobalt blue, chartreuse/citron, turquoise
Red hair
Pacific Northwest, USA

AUGH! I keep thinking I have an answer to this, and then switching it around. *sigh*-- I love colors.

OK. Here's my best shot:

1. Green, Coral, and Blue
2. Medium reddish brown
3. Central PA*

*I'm not a native to the region (and this is the only place I've ever lived where that seems to really matter), so I'm betting I'm not geographically representative.

3. I live in AZ now, but I grew up in Seattle

The other interesting thing here is my eye color. I have hazel eyes that contain ALL four of the colors that I wear most.

Oh this is so much fun! I have to say that I am surprised by how many of us are redheads, and the wide array of favorite colors that we wear. Not at all the colors that my mother used to dress me in!!!

Keep it up, let's hear from some more colorful YLFers.
