Color Emotion

Being a person who does not pay much attention to trends, I just this week found out that Pantone chose this shade as color of the year for 2022. I spent most of 2021 rather obsessed with shades of violet, so it should have appealed to me. Instead I thought, Eh, okay.

I have no idea what color will catch my eye or tug at my heart. It's always an emotional thing for me. I usually don't fixate on one, although I've had years like 2021 when I've worked primarily in one chunk of the color wheel. Green is a favorite of mine, especially paired with gray. So are any range of sea or sand colors. I love light and beach colors the most, I think, as they're calming for me, but I also appreciate dark and bold palettes for their drama and energy.

Now I'm wondering what my personal color of the year will be. I know it won't be yellow (my least favorite color) and I think I've temporarily exhausted my love for violet. Maybe orange. I really like the lovely orange shades in my koi quilt. :)
