I rarely use bright colours because I prefer softer, romantic tones that pastels give.






I love love love brights and would choose them every time over pastels
I wear brights and I make brights I love the bright colours in nature too!



Brenda

I love pastels when I am trying to create a soft feel for my creation, but when I look around my blog, I use mostly brights.


Carol
Love pastels, especially when it comes to flowery cards I think pastels make pretty feminine cards.







Elaine

I love all colour but for babies I do prefer pastel colours best. They are so delicate and happy.




Kat

I love the soft romantic look that pastels give and am always reaching for my huge stash of pretty pastel papers!




Lori

I love bright, bold colors - especially against black so that they "pop" :)
 


Lorraine

I love bright, bold colours especially the colour red but I also love the pastel shades that are used in so many beautiful cards that my blogging friends make but I find these muted shades very difficult to work with for some reason and so, I have decided to set myself a challenge to create a pastel coloured card... or two





Mojca

Sarah

Brights for me as they tend to suit the style of image that I enjoy colouring.




Suzette

Wilma
For me it is definitely bright. As bright as possible!

I'm definitely a 'colour' fan, and even on a "grey day" I love to add some colour!  So my rainy day image features two of my favourite colours, aqua-blue and purple.


Oh for me it's definitely all about the colours
Why? well I think life would not be the same in one colour
Simple as that!



Brenda

I like monochrome, but I LOVE color!  Bright colors make me smile.




Carol

I love the challenge of monochrome especially when using colours, it's the balance of getting the shades of one colour to look just right. This is my favourite monochrome colour, just like my craft room, makes me feel right at home! 





Elaine

Monochrome can have a very striking effect, but I do prefer colour. I love the vibrancy that colour can bring to a card. 



Kat

Almost all my cards are in colour; there are so many beautiful colours and it's nice to choose colours to suit the mood and style of the image.




Lori

As you can probably guess, my favorite is COLOR...in fact, I believe I am addicted to color! :P I am an avid crocheter as well as a card maker and when I start an afghan, I am so excited to see it once ALL the colors are incorporated! SO FUN!




Lorraine

Colour is definitely my choice every time. I love bright and vibrant colours they make me happy.





Mojca
Definitely colour for me. Otherwise I wear only black and sometimes read coloured clothes, so I have to confess that crafts is my colour escape :P




Suzette
My Favourite colour is rose pink

Sarah

Colour for me!! After all the world would be a miserable place without it and from a crafty perspective there are so many gorgeous papers that need images coloured to match!!






Wilma
No question about it: Colour.  
Colours make me happy.
