Default What are your favourite color schemes?

You don't have to show me an actual scheme just in general what are you most drawn to?

The amount of times I spend trying to figure out a color scheme is just ridiculous..

Right now I am crazy for aqua & red.

I am *not* at all drawn to schemes that are have muddied or heritage colors.

I have too many I enjoy. My latest fascination has been grey, yellow w/ accents of black and white. But I love a good aqua mixed with just about anything. In fact, aqua with grey and yellow would be awesome! I am also a sucker for rich warm tones. Like I said.........I enjoy many. LOL

I don't have a specific scheme that I go to all the time but I do tend to use anything with the color mint/light aqua/light turquoise/Tiffany Box blue.

Sorry... I have to have images!









I'm loving kits with yellow lately! Or a pop of fuchsia, orange, or teal.

I have a Pinterest board for colors: http://pinterest.com/maryinaz/mere-c...ed-by-meaning/

I'm not a pastel or neutral colors person so I don't even look at kits with those colors, even if it's a theme I could use. I like bold, rich colors!

1. blue and yellow - the blue can be anything from sky blue to teal to navy...

2. white and yellow

3. yellow and grey

4. pink, grey, black, white

5. lavender and white ;-)

6. black and red, with white also

7. blue and green (various shades of) + white

8. anything that features a light sky blue... it's almost never featured in kits... like this background on Zora's LO:

Anything involving navy blue. Yes, even navy blue mixed with pink is practically guaranteed to snag me.

Nature-y kinds of colors like these:


And these kind of colors:


And bright, bold green ... like this:

I love this color scheme. I'd love to see another KCB nature kit using this color scheme.

Just abt anything.

I've been scrapping long enough that I have a kit (or three) in every color scheme there could be.

What draws me in more are the elements and/or theme (or lack thereof).

Oh, yes! Me too! I think that would be considered Kelly Green?

I also love the jade-ish color of this book paired with blues & purples:


And I love these two colors together:


Back & White with Teal & Cobalt... and pops of orangeyed:

All of them! Honestly, it depends on the theme of the kit and what photos I plan to use it with. I buy a mix of very girly kits for DD, masculine kits for scrapping DS1 & 2, and kits that can be used for either or that will work when I'm scrapping all 3 kids. I love blues, and I rarely use yellow or orange in more than small doses. I tend to prefer kits with lots of colors as opposed to something monochromatic or with 2-3 colors. The exception to that is nature kits, where I would scrap with a more limited palette.

I am a fool for color... I will grab anything colorful. The packs of multi-colored pens, sharpies, paints, and crayons always suck me in when I'm at the store. So, really, there's not much I don't like other than very dark, de-saturated or dull colors.

I just have a general comment rather than specific colors. In general I prefer colors that are muted in some fashion. Like with a little gray or white (on the color wheel). Somehow that gives the palette more sophistication rather than looking like it came out my son's box of crayola markers! Yoi!

I'm loving grays with pops of brighter colors. Orange and turquoise. And green is always good. And so is purple (underused IMO).

Lovin' the colors.

I am mostly drawn to warm palettes. Earth tones. Anything in the blue range. Teal. Turquoise. Pops of color (teal/red, grey/yellow, etc)

I'm drawn to bright colors (not necessarily primary colors), but I almost exclusively scrap with masculine color palettes since I have two boys

If some of you decide to have another baby after viewing this photo, I cannot be held responsible. {But if you decide to use the color scheme, I'll be glad to take credit.}
