My favourite colour is magenta because it is the colour my lips go when I use green colour changing lipstick and when I use it always cheers me up and puts a smile on my face :)
ReplyDeleteThe reason I should be picked is I would like to join a group of fellow like minded colourful creatives and I am big fan of their courses.
My favourite colour is Fuchsia. The more darker, than light version of it. Somehow I always come back to this color when I make illustrations and patterns. It is a bright, warm but also a bit cool colour that goes well with so many other colours! I love it with pastels, but also with other bright colours. It makes a colour palette shine.
ReplyDeleteI always have loved colours, and the colour gang would be a great help and inspiration for my work. To make my work better and creating that fresh and happy spark that makes it fun to look at by others.
Sunshine yellow! I love colour and pattern and The Colour Gang sounds so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteMint green -a light tint just like the mint chocolate gelato from my favorite Ice Cream parlour, also the color of my Italian racing bike, so I think of fresh mountain air and a luscious treat after flecked with bittersweet chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I because I’d love to be inspired again to get back to design work with like minded creatives and I am obsessed with colour
Orange! - its such a happy colour and also the first colour my son recognised!
ReplyDeleteI would love to join the colour gang as I am just starting up as a freelance designer and would be invaluable to keep me motivated and inspired.
Gold is my favourite colour as it adds a touch of luxury to pattern and design - you can't beat a bit of sparkle. I'd love to join the colour gang because it will help me realise my dreams to become a designer.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose, but I am always drawn to dark, navy blue. It reminds me of both the night sky and the deepest depths of the ocean and makes me imagine all of the creatures hiding in them.
ReplyDeleteBeing part of The Colour Gang would be invaluable to my fledgling business, and would inspire me to push my designs further, make me think outside the box and adventure outside my comfort zone!
My favorite color would have to be teal. I find it to be both a soothing and fun color. There's a shade of it for every occasion and personally, it goes so perfectly in my mid-century modern home. I would loved to be picked for this giveaway, as I am a new designer to the world of surface pattern design and I am in love with it! The more I can learn, the better! -Grace
ReplyDeleteAs a colour lover choosing a favourite is a tough call. There are so many reasons to love them all but if push came to shove I would have to pick yellow.
ReplyDeleteMy love for the colour yellow comes from a lot of nostalgia.. reaching for the yellow pencil crayon to scribble my yellow (blonde) hair and as a fairly assertive 9 year old insisting on all my bedroom accessories being yellow. I guess my fondness towards yellow has grown; it’s happy, it’s fun and it’s hopeful.
I’d love to be given the chance to be part of the colour gang, it sounds fun, inspiring and best of all would give me the opportunity to learn from and interact with a community of like minded people!
Yellow is my favourite colour. It is a positive, bright sunshiny colour.
ReplyDeleteBeing part of the Colour Gang would mean that I could explore colour further and experiment with new ideas all with the support of a fantastic community and team full of knowledge and expertise.
My favourite colour is lime green, the zingy fresh nature of it, the promise of sun to come in spring, I just love it!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be part of the colour gang to support my current illustration degree, I need to work on my colour and having taken all the MIID courses, I know it will test and push me in new and wonderful directions!
I love turquoise and teal colours. Since owning my own home I have noticed that it is the main colour in every room! Really love a little pop of yellow and grey with it too.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be part of the colour gang as I I recently have just set off as a freelance designer and trying to start my own business and when producing my own photos and designs, I have realised how much colour combinations makes you want to look and buy a product, it is such a hook and I would love the opportunity to learn the best way of executing this!
I love every shade of fuchsia! I surround myself with it in every area. I probably use it a little too much in my designs. For that reason, I would love to be a part of the Gang to push my boundaries into other colorways. ;-)
