What are your favorite Stampin' Up! colors and why?

Chocolate Chip
Bashful Blue
Old Olive

Your turn-
Mine are Certainly Celery, Real Red, Bashful Blue,
I use a lot of Chocolate Chip and Real Red...apart from that, I base my colour choices on the patterned paper I'm going to use. Forces me to break out for the CC/RR rut!
My favorite SU colors tend to be seasonal. If you ask me this question in the spring, I'll tell you Certainly Celery, Lavender Lace, the Plums, Bashful Blue. In the fall, I would say that my favs are Old Olive, Really Rust, Ruby Red (or Riding Hood Red, I really loved that color ), not quite navy.
You get the idea. Right now I am using a lot Rich Regal colors, Brocade Blue, Rose Red, Taken with Teal, Bravo Burgundy (love the cs, hate the ink). So to say what is my favorite SU color would be tough and it would depend on when you asked me.
My favorite colors are definitely influenced by seasons or the reason for a card (masculine cards likely have different colors than one for a baby shower, kwim?)
But I do have several colors I love:
So Saffron
Handsome Hunter
Night of Navy
Elegant Eggplant
Certainly Celery
Bashful Blue
Always Artichoke
Garden Green
Chocolate Chip
Close to Cocoa
Very Vanilla (less stark a contrast with most colors)
Lovely Lilac
Brilliant Blue
Summer Sun
Pumpkin Pie
Cranberry Crisp
Riding Hood Red
Pink Pirouette
Crushed Curry
Cool Caribbean
ETA: Rose Red esp. with Regal Rose
My go to colors right now are Old Olive, Soft Suede, and Kraft. Occasionally, I'll throw a little So Saffron in there.
I always have to have at least 2 packs of Old Olive. It's my fave!
I like certainly celery a lot (apparently) because it's the one color that runs out the most often (cardstock). For stamp pads, I use my chocolate chip all the time.

It's easier to say what colors I don't like. Depends on my mood what my favorite colors are at any given time, but Orchid Opulence and Glorious Green are NEVER favorites! Other than those two, pretty much all the colors appeal to me sometime. Right now, I'm favoring bright, happy colors as an antidote to the gray OH winter.

Mine are seasonal as well. Soon it will be LOTS of pinks (a lot of melon mambo) and purples (rich razzleberry) with V-day. I'd say that overall I used Old Olive the most. I seem to be drawn to it and it goes with a LOT of combos. I miss kiwi kiss as well since it was similar. I use quite a few other colors regularly and some almost NEVER...I could probably tell you those easier than the ones that I do use:-)
The in-colors from last year are some of my favoritest! (except the bright blue & orange). I've had a pack of the new colors for about two months with no inspiration to use them.
For regular colors, pretty much the entire earth elements section especially Not Quite Navy.
I am really into the in colors right now. I tend to stick to certain colors at different times of the year. Like now I will be all about the soft subtles.

Wow! I can't believe no one mentioned Cameo Coral. Personally...I just love that color. I pair it with Cool Caribbean (?sp) a lot or with chocolate or black. It just makes me happy.
Unfortunately, my favorite have been some of the old "in" colors like soft sky, pink pirouette, river rock, riding hood red, kiwi kiss, and baja breeze. Of the old standards: old olive, certainly celery, chocolate chip, barely banana, cameo coral, blush blossom.

Hi Liz
I too loved many of those in colors, I miss pink pirouette, it was such a soft pretty pink. It should really be a "basic" color.
I always reach for Chocolate Chip -- paper and ink. Then, I add to it, based on the season/reason. I might be in a rut though -- have to check out those color challenges.
What are your favorite Stampin' Up! colors and why?
