VERY NICE AND TRUE

AND I AM ALSO LIKE THAT
same, though mine are just black and red, with a little bit of pink.
This worked for me my faves are orange and blue. But these are also my husbands favourites and definitely don’t fit him!! He’s more Black and White (literally).
My favorites are blue, purples grays, yellows whites. I prefer mid tones, any color that’s to bright tend to hurt my eyes, also if color is to pale my vision misses the Suttle differences.
White is my favorite color.
My favourite colour is yellow and red and it is matching with my personality….
omg same Karan
My God! I really luv neutral colors (black, White, grey) and blue, and they all matched my personality.
Not all of these are true. Is it just me or is black really underated?
You were absolutely right about me and purple. Wow!
Are you kidding? Any Scorpio’s favorite color is dark red, that’s if their natal chart doesn’t have squares or oppositions on it.
Of course red…not sissy red but deep garnet red. Loveit

I like purple blue n green. .yes your description desci bes me quite correctly.
It’s really good & If it doesn’t match exactly sounds good. Thank you.!
Pink is my new obsession :))
I feel like if I had picked any color, the insight would have applied to me and probably 80% of others
So I don’t think everyone is seeing the truth about color…. so I get the point of the statistics and generally it’s a good match but it’s really necessary to be smart about this situation that for a wierd unseen fact that black and white are not colors in real life both of them are shades and I am just wondering how is it possible to think that black and white are colors like you are kindly ridiculous you are needing to make the changes suggestions?…. I would love to see primary mixed as colors to choose from on this hope it willnot ruine the great idea for every one!!ššššš¤£
My favorite color is indigo like the rainbow color or the plant.
PURPLE is my absolute fav, although I still love blue, which was my fav. since time began. My fiancĆ©’s fav is blue; he’s a military man and true blue, all the way! LOL!!! We’re getting married June 2; CAN’T WAIT!
Uhm my fave colors are cerise, aquamarine and chartreuse. TF does that say about me? That im a hipster? Or have more nuanced opinions about colors?
Green
All of them but if I had to pick one or two it would be Blue and White.
Its funny but l don’t have a favourite color. But my wardrobe has at least each color in an attire.
