I have a few quirks about color. Some of you may have noticed...I prefer my Yellows a little bit Peachy, and my Blues a little bit Peri, like this wonderful door I spotted on the Left Bank in Paris.
Is it just me, or are the blue & white enameled building numbers the cherry on the sundae? I just love the attention to the small details that to me are oh-so-French. So that's why the "French Blue" (aka Peri) was in the Penelope Five fabrics...it's simply one of my favorite colors, and I try to use it whenever I can.
What's your favorite color, and where do you remember it from?
Leave me a message and you will be eligible for the Penelope 456 Fat Quarter Bundle Drawing.
Here are the details: one comment/entry per person on this blog, entry period from now until next Friday July 13th (!) then we will draw six names and give away the six sets of Penelope Fat Quarter bundles.
Back in two shakes.

I love a deep blue -- like a dark sapphire blue.

I love the marine blue color of the ocean. The feeling of freedom and peace in the water is an emotional "go to" place for me.

I love color - all colors! If I was restricted to one color for the rest of my life I'd mourn the loss of the others but I'd have to have green. It is so peaceful...

My favorite color is aqua, the shade of tropical water. Love your cheerful colors and prints.

I am a definite orange fan - I think because it is the color I wear best.

I love pinks and blues. I had a pink room growing up, and when I was little my brother had a blue stuffed dog (a poodle!) named FiFi Dog that I carried everywhere. We found FiFi one day and now she stays at my brother's house.
hanks for the chance to win!

My favorite color is a deep rich brown, but I'm trying to branch out and add lighter colors to my decorating and wardrobe. :)

I love reds, I'm not sure when I started loving it, but have for a long, long time. Maybe it was Grandma's flowers. Thanks for the chance!

My favorite colour is RED. Do not know why I love red so much, probably because there is such a warm colour.

my favorite color of all times is blue, all kinds of shades. black is also a favorite but blue is more suitable for a quilt I think :-)

I just love all colors, because all colors have their own quality.

I am not really sure what to call my favorite color but it is blue...the color the sky is when a "high" comes in (climate speak!) and the sky is an extraordinary deep, rich blue. I remember the first time I noticed that color was when we lived in Kansas when I was about 8 years old. Whenever I see that color I refer to it as "the color of the sky in Kansas"!

I lived in Europe for ten years and always found the doors among other things to be gorgeous. The blue door is pretty. When it comes to flowers my color choice are the pinks, reds, violets.

Green has always been my favorite color. I associate it most with the outdoors and different shades in Mother nature.
