Yep! Depends on my mood. And that changes while I'm shopping. I like so much, it costs a lot to get everything I like. And my stash has gotten out of hand. Currently downsizing.
My favorite color is green: natures neutral. My other favorite neutral is grey, on the green side. Someone said a favorite of green means a changeable personality. Yep, that's me, multi-faceted,
not multi personallities. I'm altogether 1 person.
More important than color to me, is value contrast. When shopping, I make a cruise of the store looking specifically for very light and very dark. It's easy to pick out pretties to buy. When making a quilt I always include dark and light, so I use these up first. The pretties often sit on the shelf.
