About a third of my tshirts are trade show freebies, and most of them are black.
I have more purple shirts and **purple **ties than anything else, other than white-based or pinstriped/checked dress shirts.
Wow. I could have said almost all of this. I am a warm spring and I love jewel tones. I love greens and blues, which bring out my green eyes; purple is my school color so I wear it despite being told my whole life that redheads shouldn’t wear purple. My go-to work outfit is pleat-front slacks and a twin set or a skirt with a tee and an open shirt, so neutral bottoms in black, navy, denim, or khaki and tops in the colors I love.
Kitap, I don’t have the souvenir shirt but I do have the deep coral. I own a red shirt but I don’t wear it because I don’t want to look like I support the union. I do have 2 pale yellow with blue shirts, but I would never pay full-price for that. Orange in an abomination, and most pink is insipid.
SmartAleq, my hair’s not white yet, but everything else you said could be me.
I’m drawn to greens, particularly olives. But since I buy all my clothes at thrift stores, style and fit usually take precedent over color. I like reds and blues, too. And corals. I don’t care for many neutrals or black, though my wardrobe currently contains a few beiges and a black tee shirt from a woman’s march a few years ago. And I don’t like bright, attention-drawing colors or pink.
I also avoid whites because of the staining potential. However, I have one white shirt made of some sort of miracle fiber that has been shrugging stains off for years. Every time I drop something on it, which seems to be every time I wear it, I fear whatever magic that is woven in will come to it’s inevitable end. But, each time, the stain is gone in a wash or two. Amazing!
Hope I haven’t jinxed myself now.
Yeah, no yellows, oranges, or yellow-greens in my wardrobe. I’m an autumn, but if I weren’t dying my hair, I’d probably be a winter. My younger sister and I have almost identical coloring, but her hair is au naturel, and she’s a winter.
Lilac is a good color for bringing out the color of my eyes (blue). I’d always get people commenting on my eyes when I wore a particular lilac-colored top.
Interesting that so many people choose colors that they believe look good on them. I choose colors based on how pretty they look to me. I have no real idea whether they “bring out my eyes” or “make me look sallow”. Now I kinda wonder.
Also I thought that what season are you thing went out in the 1980’s. Boy have I been ignorant.
I feel it would be an aesthetic loss not to arrange it that way. Going in order of electromagnetic frequency is what resonates with my mind. And rainbows are something I love.
I arrange my closet according to what I wore most recently, so I don’t wear the same things over and over to the neglect of others. Every blouse deserves its chance! 
Peter Pan collars matter!
I don’t think I’ve had a Peter Pan collar since 8th grade, but OK, if you insist!
Heh, I know nothing about fashion, but the idea that there is a Peter Pan collar just brightens my day.
I’m a blue person. But I’ve been branching out. Tan/gray dress shirts. Black/gray/tan t-shirts. Etc.
I’m colorblind. I wear only dark solid colors like brown, green, black, gray, heather. Also, white undershirts, but more often black. I will not wear blue, yellow, or red.
All of the shirts I wear in public are tie-dyed, and have been for years. Don’t particularly care what colours, although I do have a “thing” for oranges and greens. Some are very bright, some not so much, all stand out (which is not why I wear them).

Why tie-dye, Sean the Dog?
Ask anyone who has met me. The answer is All of Them! Usually at the same time on one shirt.
Long story I’ll try to make real short:
A few years ago I stumbled across some tie-dyed shirts while on vacation in another province. I just thought they were neat. Wore them to work for a joke, figured the guys would get a laugh out of them, and that would be the end of it.
Had two very odd reactions to them, aside from the expected jokes. First, a LOT of people, including people I had never even seen before (it’s a large place), felt perfectly free to came up to me and tell me that they loved or hated my shirts, or that I was giving them flashbacks. I don’t think some of the people who “hated” them were joking. It was like I was running a big sociology experiment. Fortunately, no dress code.
Second, the shirts spoke to me, and I’m not quite sure why. Part of it is remembering the hippies on TV when I was very little and thinking they looked like a nice and friendly and happy group of people – like people I could fit in with, being a shy person even then – and wanting to be and look like them. (I was three or four, didn’t know anything about war or drugs or “tune in, turn on, drop out”, and still have no interest in any of that.) Now I look like what I wanted to be, and people seem to understand that, which helps me be that. Maybe it’s because I got tired of wearing dark clothes all the time, doing anything not to stand out, as I’ve done since high school. Not goth or anything like that, just hiding in the background. Still don’t want to stand out so much, but care way less. Maybe it’s just because I like seeing something bright on a daily basis. Whatever reason (D, all of the above…), they became my go-to shirts…
… and for fun I bought tie-dye shirts for the whole shop a couple of years ago, and inadvertently started tie-dye Tuesday. If I could figure out how to post pics here, I’d show you the whole bunch of us.
It’s a nice, fun, harmless thing to be known for.

I use more of a library system. Clothes are arranged by type. Short sleeve blouses, long sleeve blouses, jeans, slacks, skirts, dresses, misc. Things move around seasonally. I have an unfortunate stubbornness about getting rid of some clothes I don’t wear. We have given away much of our worldly possessions in the last year, but much-loved clothes stay.
Since the Biggest Loser: Coronavirus Edition is continuing, it’s good that I have smaller size clothes to wear when I will need them.
Agreed.
