Colors You Never Seem To Use

hmm, this is a lot more noticeable if you have to buy loose stocks of prismacolors. I seem to never use bright purples and aquamarines, while I run out of dull greens and browns almost monthly.

List colors you never seem to use, and be specific if you can, eg. Red-Orange browns, things like that.

Yeah, that happens to me too; I always seem to be running out of earth tones. What colors do I have a lot of? Hmm... I'd have to take another look, actually. I think it's the dark green, dark blue, and pink I seem to get surpluses of.

Well, darker colors are more the thing that I don't use, such as the pine green, the maroon, raspberry, etc. xD I guess that's saying something. Like all my sharpies seem to be those really dark colors that when you put them down on paper they are five times darker than what they should be.

xD

Yellow and purple for me. Looked at the pencilcase and they're still pretty much the same size as when I got them.

The brighter purples and reds aren't really used by me.

I've been using the pastel colors way too much. ^^;

Dark colors like browns and dark greens. The only exception is black and violet. I love bright colors, especially sky blue, pink, turquoise, aqua, lime green, sky magenta, lilac and red.

Yellow and pink.

Mostly because there's just never really a reason to use them. =/

Hmm, I'd have to say yellow and grey, off the top of my head. The only times I use 'em is when they ~have~ to be used. For shades of different colours, etc.

Edit: I forgot the 'e' in 'shades'.

I never seem to use pink. I honestly have nothing against the color, but I usually use more browns and blacks and blues. Darker, earhtier colors. I also never seem to use orange, unless I'm blending it with some other color.

Pink comes in first place of non-used color.
Also noticed I don't tend to used dark green colors as well as orange.

I think the fact that none of my pics have a single bit of pink on says something, don't you think? ^_^

Nightmares? Does it really? Anyway, I'd have to say purples aswell as pinks.

Mint green. I never remembered coloring a drawing with a mint green coloring instrument. The color just sickens me. Eeeeeshh!!

Really? I always use that colour. But I don't really use orange that much... . . . .

Mint green shades always reminds me of what happened to me in a pool when I was four. I almost drowned when my parents were stuffing themselves with chips by the poolside. Talk about parental responsibility. I never forgave them for that.

Come to think of it. The pool's tiles were mint green.....

Eh? [i]Skin[/i] is not one flat tan colour. It has pink. Eyes have pink, lips are pink, fingernails are pink, ears are pink. I wouldn't be able to colour people without using pink.

Mm. I tend not to use.. green. Not sure why. I just never liked it. I used to not use blue or yellow either but now I tend to [i]over[/i]use them.

About what London said, why would you use pink to colour people? I always use peach. Although you are right about the lips and nails... . . . .
