Meme challenge for Blogs, 1.25.06
Here is the challenge: From Two Peas in a Bucket
(I am actually using this as inspiration for a LO for the Scraplift Challenge on Two Peas)
When you're feeling creative, what colors do you usually go for - when creating something? List your 5 most-used colors, and explain why you choose them. What feelings in you - do they evoke? What emotions/feelings do they represent to you? Share why you choose the colors you do.
1. Lime Green (shades of) - I have no idea why this color is so prominent in my life and layouts. I LOVE this color. It's so trendy yet so against the grain. You either love this color or hate it. You either look good in this color or you don't. There is no shades of gray (no pun intended) with this color. You can't occasionally use it - you have to be fully committed to this color and committed to liking it years from now. It's warm and cool, it's tangy and tart. It's a sweettart! It's a bold statement. It requires confidence to carry this color off.
2. Purple - A great compliment to Lime Green as well as a great stand alone. It reminds me of a popsicle on a hot summer afternoon - cool and sweet. Great reminder of summer fun and fanciful moments. It screams - PARTY TIME! This is a color that mingles well with others, the life of a layout. It merges with others well and arises to the occasion when needed. Very versatile.
3. Navy (dk) Blue - Also a great compliment ot Lime Green and a stand alone. It reminds me of night time, winter time, formal times and somber moments. Great for a variety of layouts but mostly the serious reflective ones. It exudes power and authority. This color does not like to mingle with other colors - always has to stand out. It's a great leader of the pack.
4. BLACK - basic, always matches, great background, perfect accent. Black is black. No list is complete without black. The majority of my wardrobe is black. Black is cool, absorbing, covering and revealing. It's trendy AND Goth. It's sublime. rarely the leader or the a part of a group. Usually stands in the background needing little introduction. You just know it's there.
5. Shabby Pink - A great compliment to all the above colors. Rarely standing alone - pink can be a girl accent (with black or navy blue), a trendy accent (paired with lime green) or whimsical (paired with Purple). It's cool, inviting, fun and comforting. It's a girl color. One of the few men will use. It's rarely placed on a layout alone - always seeking a partner to be with.
There's my list. It would be cool to see what changes in say five years? I have a feeling these are my life long colors. Even my primary kindegarten scrapbooking pages from 8 years ago have these basic colors in it. I think we gravitate towards colors that bring out our deepest personalities.
