Orange for me. I always have lots of blues and reds though.

I use white quite a bit, but I usually don't buy it until I need it because it's "boring" When I'm in the mood to buy fabric I want it to be exciting! I have a massive stash, so I don't need to buy fabric often, but when I get in the mood, watch out!

Purple and black. I don't have enough red so I'm trying to stock up on that.

Each quilt seems to require something different so I really think that once I use a color then I am done with that for a while. Except for red. I love red.

Yellow...and they (the quilt police??? LOL) say it's a great accent; sparkle; bright; etc. There are not too many "comfortable" yellows out there. Maybe that's why I don't have that color....

Orange would be my least used color. I do have a little in my stash but usually reject it at the last minute.

Pink. I don't like it. BUT I do have some. Sometimes it is nEeded and I will use it sparingly.

If you're into hand-dyes, WOW or COC are the best for this. The pattern printed comes out a shade lighter than the fabric itself. Buying a bolt of this allows you to make a lot of hand-dyed fabric with the same pattern.
