This is an interesting topic. I have lots of slightly muted versions of jewel tones and darker calico prints. (Think Kansas Troubles.) I love black and have a supply of prints with black as the background. I have to make myself buy browns or grey, yuck and double yuck!.(I don't wear them either.) I have an over abundance of blues and pinks. The most glaring missing color family is brights or the beautiful bright/brilliants such as Kaffe Fassett fabrics that are admired but do not live in my stash.
