What color fabric do you have the most of in your stash? ...Least of?

I have two different stashes. One is a well rounded stash and that is my Project Linus stash, every color that I know of is in there, including purples and oranges. My personal sash is mostly blues and greens.

I have the most blues and greens. So many that I actually have a separate bin for turquoise/teal. My "least" used color used to be orange, but after a year of challenging myself to use it more, I have come to like it a lot. It makes quilts pop. Brown is now my least used/least favorite and I doubt it that will change!

I sat looking at all the colors of my stash. I pretty much saw all the colors. Have my fabric in stacks by color. What I don't have and dislike greatly is black. I will substitute a dark blue or brown in place of black. But, hey....everyone sees color through their own eyes. Color is perceived differently by each person. I always thought that a color was what it was. So, saying that, we choose the colors we see that appeal to us. Personally. Or what is requested by the ones we are making a quilt for. I'm very fussy about color. It has to be just the right shade, tone or hue. The depth of color has to be very close to what I want. I use my Ott light and take pictures on my phone to see what is really there. Yes, I delete the pictures. Try the phone thing. It's interesting to see what the colors look like from that perspective.

Ditto, Copycat. I have more blue, a large tote full and over flowing and perhaps half a shoe box sized box of browns. I also have a lot of green and pink. Goal.... use up enough blue to get the lid on again.

I have a pretty even amount of every color. There really isn't any color that I don't like. I used to not like orange or green, but find they make great accents in quilts, so I have a fair amount of both in my vast stash of fabric.

I have so much peach and green fabrics in my stash. I don't think I will every get all of it sewn into a quilt but I will give it a good try. My least favorite fabrics are blues. I rarely buy blue fabric unless it is needed to do a particular quilt.

I have a lot of everything....yikes! I love the earthy brown, tan, green, deep red colors and blues. I am not crazy about army green or fuchsia.

I have peaches and corals and of course whites and these are all colors I
forgot to mention.
I'm just as much a pastel or a sunset combination as well as,...hmmm,
I do love the darker colors especially brown, red with white or black, red,
pink and white,
but I guess i do lean towards the lighter or brighter colors mostly.
Sunset colors for me are: reds, oranges, yellows, corally...yummers!
