You don't have to show me an actual scheme just in general what are you most drawn to?

The amount of times I spend trying to figure out a color scheme is just ridiculous..
 
Right now I am crazy for aqua & red.

I am *not* at all drawn to schemes that are have muddied or heritage colors.
 
I have too many I enjoy. My latest fascination has been grey, yellow w/ accents of black and white. But I love a good aqua mixed with just about anything. In fact, aqua with grey and yellow would be awesome! :D I am also a sucker for rich warm tones. Like I said.........I enjoy many. LOL

oh, totally digging gray, aqua and yellow, lately too!!

I love bright colors... not into pastel, soft colors... :D
 
I don't have a specific scheme that I go to all the time but I do tend to use anything with the color mint/light aqua/light turquoise/Tiffany Box blue.
 
Sorry... I have to have images!

I'm loving kits with yellow lately! Or a pop of fuchsia, orange, or teal. :)
 
1. blue and yellow - the blue can be anything from sky blue to teal to navy...

2. white and yellow

3. yellow and grey

4. pink, grey, black, white

5. lavender and white ;-)

6. black and red, with white also

7. blue and green (various shades of) + white

8. anything that features a light sky blue... it's almost never featured in kits... like this background on Zora's LO:

Anything involving navy blue. Yes, even navy blue mixed with pink is practically guaranteed to snag me.

Nature-y kinds of colors like these:

And these kind of colors:

I love this color scheme. I'd love to see another KCB nature kit using this color scheme.
 
Just abt anything. :p

I've been scrapping long enough that I have a kit (or three) in every color scheme there could be.

What draws me in more are the elements and/or theme (or lack thereof).

Oh, yes! Me too! I think that would be considered Kelly Green?

I also love the jade-ish color of this book paired with blues & purples:

And I love these two colors together:

Back & White with Teal & Cobalt... and pops of orangeyed:

All of them! Honestly, it depends on the theme of the kit and what photos I plan to use it with. I buy a mix of very girly kits for DD, masculine kits for scrapping DS1 & 2, and kits that can be used for either or that will work when I'm scrapping all 3 kids. I love blues, and I rarely use yellow or orange in more than small doses. I tend to prefer kits with lots of colors as opposed to something monochromatic or with 2-3 colors. The exception to that is nature kits, where I would scrap with a more limited palette.
 
I am a fool for color... I will grab anything colorful. :) The packs of multi-colored pens, sharpies, paints, and crayons always suck me in when I'm at the store. So, really, there's not much I don't like other than very dark, de-saturated or dull colors. :)
 
I just have a general comment rather than specific colors. In general I prefer colors that are muted in some fashion. Like with a little gray or white (on the color wheel). Somehow that gives the palette more sophistication rather than looking like it came out my son's box of crayola markers! Yoi! :D
 
I'm loving grays with pops of brighter colors. Orange and turquoise. And green is always good. And so is purple (underused IMO).

Lovin' the colors.

I am mostly drawn to warm palettes. Earth tones. Anything in the blue range. Teal. Turquoise. Pops of color (teal/red, grey/yellow, etc)
 
I'm drawn to bright colors (not necessarily primary colors), but I almost exclusively scrap with masculine color palettes since I have two boys :)
 
Ditto what everyone else said - there are wayyy too many that I love! Brooke's images up there are making me drool...
 
If some of you decide to have another baby after viewing this photo, I cannot be held responsible. {But if you decide to use the color scheme, I'll be glad to take credit.}
