LOL, I used to feel the same way about ocra and recently I have started using it and ......I actually like it. Go figure.

I have every color, but orange, brown and gray are the ones I have the least of. My orange and brown are in my fall stash and the grays just snuck in (mainly as silver).

I lack batiks & tone on tone fabrics. However, I don't miss them much as I find most to be muddy looking to me. I prefer solids to blends unless it is something with a slight pattern of color on white such as Net by Dear Stella(http://www.pinkcastlefabrics.com/col...ts/net-in-mint) or Timeless Treasures Hatch or Fun basics (http://www.abcsofquilting.com/shop/Q...t-x3602015.htm).

I don't have many pastels or Civil War color ways in my stash and don't plan on adding any.

As I've mentioned previously, I am a Magpie for large, bright floral or graphic prints. I have an over abundance of those, generally in FQs - they are like crack! I've cut way back on the FQ collecting and am trying to stay in the 1/2 yard range as the smallest cut to stash.

Not a lot of grey in my stash.

The only gray I have is an iridescent for fairy wings, none in my stash at all.

My basic colors are getting low. Will take advantage of JoAnns sale.

Me too! These two colors don't play well with the rest of my stash.

I have very little gray. I'd love to have more. And not much orange, but I'm okay with that.

Very little black mainly because it's hard for me to see my stitching...but I do like it with white or yellow.

Very little red because I don't prewash and I'm afraid of bleeding.

Would have a lot more gray except the gray I prefer (think the men's early 1950's grey flannel suits...kind of a very pale gray) simply is never available.

Minimal orange because the color is just too intense for me.

Never ever had pink "anything" until I started quilting and now one of my favorite colors....still building stash!

So, as you can tell, my stash is heaviest in greens, whites, yellows, pinks, corals, light bright turquoise.

I am with you Theodora. I only buy pink for specific projects, but do not stash it at all.
