That's so funny, Kimmie. I do the same thing with numbers, associate them with colors. For some reason, yellow and blue make ten. Weird.
Ooooh, numbers! I forgot that. I have color/number associations, too. Except my yellow and blues did not make ten. ;)
1 - white
2 - yellow
3 - red
4 - green
5 - blue
6 - green
7 - orange
8 - brown
9 - purple/black
10 - blue
You two are cracking me up. Can't say that I have ever made color associations, but you are right on with me Kimmie. Red is by far my favorite color...always has been. I also tend to like brown.
You pegged me! funny!
yellow??? Really? Gah.
Emily...if it helps, baby blue is the next color I see for you.
hmph....I think of myself as a navy blue or deep red. You think of myself as a blah old stinking YELLOW. How did you come up with these colors for people! :)
Oh Emily, poor thing ...the art of color associations is so relative and personal. You might very well still be a navy blue or deep red. Keep asking around.
It's just that in my colored glasses you are a yellow. :)
I see Emily as baby blue, too...or khaki and green...is khaki a choice? : )
C'mon now...is a girl with my sort of oddball color associations going have a rule for ruling things out? Of course khaki is choice! :)
I'll take khaki and green... sure beats yellow!!
