I don't know what happened to me in the last year or so, but my preferences for color have totally changed. I was always a cool, calm light-blue kind of gal. All my life I have gravitated towards pale and pastel shades of blue (as reflected in my wardrobe and household items prior to last year). And then something happened in 2008. I all of a sudden started liking bold, deep warm colors--like a rich dark red or a loud bright orange. I think it had been building up over the years, but it came out fully (and to my own surprise) when I was choosing colors for my wedding...all of a sudden, I wanted rich, full, bright colors (and yes, my bridesmaids graciously indulged my obsession with orange!).Don't get me wrong, I still like the cool shades of blues and greens...but I tend to gravitate towards the reds and oranges these days. And even in the blue-green range, I like them dark and bright, more than light and pastel. A rich, dark violet is also emerging as a color preference for me. I wonder if it's normal to have color preferences change so drastically. And I wonder if I'll stay in this phase, or revert back, or completely change again...

up through mid-college, my favorite color was so-dark-it-might-be-black blue. i HATED pinks as a child. then all of a sudden, it was like i saw reds for the first time. and sofia's really fair(rather than yellow like her mom), so her wardrobe's filled with pastels (which i still dislike for me but love for her) and pinks in particular.
ReplyDeletehaha i totally am the same way. i looooved pink my whole life. i liked it because it was pale, calming and understated. but nowadays, i am obsessed with FUSCHIA!! its my new passion! everything i have is this bright, bold magenta color!
