Despite the lack of support for painting our front door purple I insisted and we did it. It looked amazing. Do it. Or a really good red.

I love this. Now I'm also wondering about the type of person that 'does ones colours'. I also vote for the purple door!

Beautiful, Tracy! My colour is red, though I seem to wear a lot of pink lately - and yes, I like wearing pink, but I would never describe myself as a pink person, as that seems like someone I’m not. Hmmm. Interesting! So sad about today’s result. x

Thanks, this piece made me laugh and reflect. Red and purple - my favourite colours! And I actually have a purple front door... Life's too short for white or brown front doors.

Got me thinking - what IS my favourite colour? I would have said red, but there’s hardly any red in the wardrobe. Instead, lots of black and dark colours, even brown which is so not my colour. Then I realised I buy clothes on sale so I justv buy whatever there is, and then don’t wear it. False economy for the win.

Also, I would love a purple front door! When did our kids become so practical?

Reading your letter makes me wonder: how many people never actually wear their favourite colour? Or rarely?
