waaay back in high school, my mom got a copy of this book, and from then on, i have been drawn to darker, bolder, brighter, (louder) colors. taking my instructions from the book very seriously, i developed a lifelong aversion to all things pastel. and yellow.
i am a winter, like these beauties. as a winter, my thirty special colors include Bright White, True Red, Royal Blue, Emerald Green, Purple, Navy, Black and White. it's true, i get the most compliments when i wear these colors. i also feel the most confident when i wear these colors. and as i look around my life, it is easy to see that i haven't strayed far from my winter color palette.

i'm keeping it real, folks
it would seem that i favor greens and blues. i'm a little more cerulean than pacific blue, a little more electric lime than fern. i am still drawn to darker, bolder, brighter (and louder) colors. if pressed to pick a favorite, then here is the tie breaker:
silk flowers from our wedding
mango tango, fuschia, and inch worm.

I love bright colours, but I am too timid to decorate with them. I tend to use green and blue to decorate. I'll waer almost any colour, so that is where I get my colour fix.
I love that color inch worm. So much better than green!
Color Me Beautiful, I lived by it as a teen too. I have rebelled in my old age though and added some winter colors to my spring.
that's fantastic that you posted your razor! :) i love the colors and the fact that we have a matching flower. :) what a great idea to use those at your wedding!
My mom did that color class in the 80s and labeled me a Summer back then so I'm all about bright colors, avoid pastels and won't just buy any old color in the stores. I recently had another consultant confirm my status as a Summer so I guess I really am.
I love the picture of the razor!
awesome look in the world of lelly. love it.
the silk flowers made me gasp-- i have a little bit different version on my desk but happy and sunny all year round, like yours. normally i do not like silk flowers but can't resist the silk gerbers. just too cute!
My mom had my colors done when I was a teenager, too. I was told I'm a winter, but I don't use it at all now. Not sure how that's working out for me, actually. . .
Those bright gerber daisies are gorgeous! I love your green razor. Mine is pink. Suprised? What color is inch worm. I have never heard of that?
I haven't seen that book in years! I too like the colors that green brings. What a fun SPT this week. Thank you so much for givng us the oppurtuntity to reflect on ourselves each week. I have come to look forward to Tuedays! :)
Great spt! Cool variety of colorful things. Does your copper art piece have a story to it? Very unique ;) Love the gerber daisys!!
I love all those colors. What a wonderful colorful places we live in :)
What vibrant and 'happy' colors! A great way to keep that spring feeling all year round!
I love those blue and greens. Thanks for a peek at your pretty things.
oooh. I love the bright & bold of it. Beautiful!
That book is a flash from the past! We had that same edition. I think I was a summer, but I wanted to be a spring because I preferred those colors, so I struggled with hard feelings for Carole.
I had that book long ago. I too am a winter, not much pastel around me! I did not post this week due to insane schedules, but red and green are my weapons of choice. Love the vase!
oops wine bottle. :-)
Love all your bright colors. I am a bright girl, too! I also love your pics, very artistic!
