Do You Wear Bright Colours?

[Jules]

My husband’s doctor commented on the lime green cardigan (aka jumper) that I wore to the appointment. He said that’s the brightest colour he’d ever seen. It wasn’t said in a positive way. He’s noticed other things I’ve worn and liked them. I didn’t have a chance to comment back. It’s strange that he says anything, because time is tight and there’s no personal chitchat.

If you wear bright clothes, do people say anything?

I like bright things, so I’ll keep on wearing them.

I have a rust colored pull over shirt, that's about as bright as I get.

 

[That Lady in PA]

I don't have the skin tone for bright colors.
I surely don't want to wear things that don't complement me!

 

[Pinky]

I have a few bright tops that I wear in summer.

 

[Sunkist]

Sometimes. I like bright colors.

 

[IrishEyes]

I don't do bright reds, yellows or bright oranges. I may do a pale pink on occasion and white? Only under a printed
blouse of many colors. My skin tone has changed drastically over the years.

Red is my favorite color; black is second favorite.

Now, however, I have toned down the colors to black, grey, navy, etc. When going out in public, I dress to avoid attracting attention. I do have one red sweater which I may wear if I am feeling plucky.

I love bright colors, at least the ones that suit me (red, hot pink, turquoise are my colors; I look terrible in greens and yellows). Most of my wardrobe, though, is black, navy and beige. I got used to that in our traveling days, when everything had to go with everything else....so everything was black, navy and beige, of course.

After I wrote this, I started thinking about how much lime green I have. 4 coats for various seasons. Two sweaters. A couple of blouses.
I also wear red coats.
Everything is bright because I want to be seen crossing streets. No black or dark coats.

I’m the opposite. Absolutely no hot pink or hot red near my face.

 

[katlupe]

I love bright colors! I wear all different colors plus black. Black sets off the bright colors. Purple is my favorite.

I didn't think of that so I guess it's good I don't go out when it's dark, especially alone.

are you a redhead ?... redheads ofte wear greens... altho' red tends to clash with the hair of a redhead..


I wear Bright colours a lot... I have green, pinks, reds.. yellows... as well as dark colours.....rarely ever wear black.. only Navy...black drains an older face of colour...

 

[Jules]

This is the sweater. It is a little brighter than this.

I wear these in the daytime.

I’m not a redhead, though that would make sense with my love of green. When I had pigment, there was a hint of red.

Mine did the same, being a California girl and instead of blonde steaks get red-auburn was so disappointing back then
I grew to appreciate the difference later on though.

 

[dobielvr]

I wear a lot of black and blue. I don't look good in bright colors. When I was younger I wore more variation of colors. I have my winter black and my summer black...lol. It goes w/my blondish grayish hair.

Light grey, dark grey , black.

Purple is my favourite colour also. I don’t often wear red. For me, it’s an angry colour.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I’m not comfortable wearing anything that will draw attention to me.

Same. I remember when everyone was "having their colors done," to find out what complemented them most. I had dark brown hair, blue eyes and very fair skin and was told I should wear jewel tones just like Jujube's list, ruby, sapphire, turquoise etc. My bests were bright hot pink (fuchsia) and magenta. I still have lots of tops in those colors but the softer pinks probably look better. I'm a blonde now.

Favorite sweater:

I like that color!!!

I wear tans, beige, blues, gray, and plaids mostly. I don't like colors too bright on me, but I don't object to other people wearing them. What I would object to more is this, from the OP:

doctor commented on the lime green cardigan (aka jumper) that I wore to the appointment.

I wouldn't be comfortable with a doctor commenting on what someone wears. He's probably just trying to be friendly, but it's not professional.

I like to be invisible so I prefer unnoticeable clothes in muted colors. No hot pink, no ruffles --although they're lovely on other people.
