Just wondering if anybody has a favorite color scheme that happens to pop up in your quilts, accidentally or on purpose.

I love using green in quilts and when designing a quilt (mostly picking blocks and laying them out on paint) pink and green happen to appear in a lot of mine which to me is weird as I'm not a pink person at all.

Anybody else have favorites??

I like:
chocolate with pale blue, chocolate with pink, black with brights, white with pale colors, and apparently a lot of yellow because it's creeping into every project. LOL
