What is your favorite color?

I say this using my best Monty Python English accent, because I just love it when they tell the guy he is wrong and he dies....

How can you have a "wrong" favorite color? Mine is absolutely FF3399.

I shudder to think that it is "hot pink," that description takes me back to 1986... 7th grade... bad hair, braces, Catholic school uniforms, a crush on the wrong boy, and lots of other 13 year old nonsense.

So I will just stick with FF3399, because I think this color defies description. It is neither magenta nor fuchsia, and calling it pink simply doesn't do it justice. I have it in my hair, on my lips, and on way too many clothing and accessory items including rhinestone earrings, scarves, a gorgeous druzy necklace... I have a huge faux flower leaning over the side of my monitor in this color, my Ikea lamp is this color, actually when I look around my art room, I am amazed at how much I do gravitate towards having items in this color in my space.

Then I look around again and notice that I have a lot of black and white in my wardrobe and studio as well, probably to counterpoint the fact that I pick this heavy pink color for all the little things. It is totally subconscious, but now I suppose I will begin noticing it more, since I brought it to my own attention...

What is YOUR favorite color? Do you just like it, or are you passionately in love with it, as I seem to be with mine?
