Louise, we must be polar opposites. I love brown and green. My room is brown ( very light) and my favorite color has always been green! But don't worry, I would sew something with you in mind if you were my partner.
I pretty much like anything, and if the pattern is included even better! I like art so tend to like dull room color choices with the stuff in it to add color. So if you have my name sew up those bright bold colors you wouldn't otherwise use.
