Black, definitely. In fact, I rarely wear any other colour ---

> [@](#): > > I was so relieved when I saw that somebody else likes brown. Usually people look at me funny when I say I like brown. It’s far and away the sexiest color. The beautiful browns of a woman’s (or man’s) hair and skin, from dark umbers to light beiges. From the golden hues of a bronze tan to the subtle creamy shell within the tanline. The gorgeous dark brown that defines the supple curves of an African princess. The earth under our feet. Rich shades of sumptuous wood. The underlying tone for autumn’s explosion of color. Whew. Brown. Think about it. ---

Blue, all shades but especially turquoise. Also Aqua Green and teal. And White was my favourite when I was 5, then it was purple then I finally settled on blue. I do still like white and silver a lot though. I think pink is awfully overrated though. ---

I like low saturation reds, pinks and purples: burgundy, aubergine, dusty pink, dusty lilac. Similarly to **Libertarian** : I like people colours. ---

Brown for me, too. Lovely browns, especially silver-browns. So soothing and earthy. Brown is the most grounded color. ---

(Pokes through closet) Black, gray, dark red, army green. I particularly like the colour of changeable silk, with the warp threads white and the weft black. It looks metallic and shimmery. Also, the colours in opals… all kinds. Not really a colour, though, is it? (hijack) has anyone else noticed that pastels are popular for summer? Aagh! Sorry, I hate pastels… at least on me. (end hijack) ---
