Favorite Colors

When you think about color, what is the first one to come to mind? 

What is your very favorite color?

Has your favorite color changed over time?

Color is a personal thing.  Favorite colors and least favorite colors say a lot about a person.  Choosing a yarn color to work with over a long period of time to make a sweater or a pair of socks becomes a joyful activity or a trudging one depending on the color and the texture of the yarn.  

Color controls your driving, influences your buying habits and changes your mood.
