Favourite Colours
My Red and White thread got me thinking, what are everyones favourite colour combinations? I love Red and Bright pink which most people think is weird, I also love reds and purples together and I love lime green with Brights as it really lifts it.

I am naturally drawn to pink - agree on the pink and red, looks great!

All through my course I would nearly always take in pink combinations and one of the other girls was yellows all the way. Occasionally I'd force myself to go yellow/orange as obviously one day am going to have to work with colours that are not my personal choice.

Pale pink (Sweet Avalanche particularly) and chocolate brown
Pale blue or turquoise and choc brown
White and green
Sage green, burgundy and dusky pink particularly when the green/burgundy hydrangea is about
Purple, lilac and blue but mainly with the spring flowers

I find my favourites change with the seasons to some extent. Not very good with yellow unless it's sunflowers or daffs.

PINK/ORANGE
LIME/LILAC
favourite all time is limes and white
can even cope with pink and yellow if the balance is right!

But most of all my mind changes with the seasons and I love to see the flowers coming in. Thats what is so great about this job.
