I have two projects (one big and one small) in which I need a bit of help making color decisions. Popular opinion would be perfect.

If you have very specific favorite colors (like lemon yellow or cornflower blue), feel free to post it below. I'd love LOTS of input.

Thanks for your help!

Not a big surprise though.

My Gallery I scrap with Photoshop CS6, but can help with older versions: PS7, CS2 & CS4.

Melanie, I am known to be a bit vague when I can.

My big project will hopefully be known by the end of the year. The little one will be a lot sooner.

Cause black & white wasn't an option!

I love peach with light blues. I also love dusty pinks with lavendars. And then darker blues with whatever accent color strikes my fancy. Mid to dark greens with a floral accent color (reminds me of flowers). The more I scrap, the more colors I've come to appreciate.

The colors just have to be your favorites. They don't have to go together.

Caramels are only a fad. Chocolate is a permanent thing.

You know, it's funny. I didn't realize I liked orange so much until after I started scrapping for awhile. I was flipping through my scrapbook pages one day and realized that the majority of them had orange in it. Most of my favorite pages have some orange in it.

I voted purple, pink and "other"...

my "other" color would be NAVY! It's fantastic. It's a neutral, and still goes with lots of other colors it just seems really modern to me (and yet classic at the same time).

I picked Orange -- LOVE IT! And Pink. Love those colors! I've really navigated toward Orange these days -- I've been wearing orange a lot lately.

Love those colors.

I might have to run and hide! Karen knows I have a difficult time with orange. NOT my favorite. I don't mind a little bit, but lots just scares me.

I need a bunch of non-orange loving people to vote now!!!

I can pinpoint my loathing of orange to the fluorescent orange snowmobile suit my parents bought for me as a child. Their reasoning was that they wouldn't lose me on cross-country ski trips, but I HATED it. I wanted the purple one. Evidently, it wasn't as eye-numbing as the orange one. Beware of what you force on your kids.
