Do the colors in your stash match your personality?

I would say it does reflect "me". I love the earth tones, and fall colors, especially sage green. Love Thimbleberry style, Kim Diehl fabrics, civil war reproductions and small prints. I'm not a solids fan, or bright colors either. My stash does seem tomirror my wardrobe also. Maybe I'm just a creature of habit!

I don't know about matching my personality. It definitely isn't colors I would look good in (which would be brighter). For whatever reason, I don't find much interest in working with bright, pure colors. I'm drawn to the rich Civil War tones, and to the feeling of the past that those busy little prints evoke.

If my stash reflects my personality then I am all over the place! 
I love jewel tones and earth tones if we're just talking about favourite colours (and my clothes tend towards earth tones), but I use all colours in my quilting as I see fit.
Currently I would be red and gold Christmas fabric

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.

Re-organized my stash a month or so ago and realized that I didn't have many pinks/corals at all, so I stocked up on them. I do love the cheddars to go with blues, red, greens but only have a few of them. My solid neutrals are running low also. Hope husband gives me a gift card for Christmas, as it looks like I need to shop a little more!
