For me it's pink! Pink was very popular in the 50s when I was growing up and I think my mother overdid it a bit. We had a totally pink kitchen.... pink cabinets, stove, refrigerator, plastic wall tile, flooring!! My bed was decorated with pink sheets w/sheer ruffled spread on top; and would you believe.... the part of the outside of the house that was stucco was painted PINK!! Yikes!! I HATE PINK!!

ps: I also had a pink and white pontiac convertible and wore a pink and black poodle skirt w/hoop!!!

I made a wedding quilt for a newphew, and he and his new wife wanted purple, red and blue. Since they live in Alaska, i did a bear paw pattern. Lord 'o mercy - I dreaded working on that quilt. Some days I just couldn't work on it at all, other days I sewed like crazy to get it done.
What's your color challenge?
