Tell Me Your Favorite Color For Spring!



The weather is just now finally starting to warm up (although I'm almost nervous to admit that for fear of jinxing it), and it's beginning to feel like spring might actually be here after all.  When it comes to colors, I'm usually a fan of neutral shades - but I find myself drawn to brighter, more cheerful colors this time of year.  There is something about springtime's energy that makes us all drawn to certain hues, and I decided to ask this month's group of medium and large sponsors to tell me their #1 color choice this season.  I have to say, learning about their favorite spring colors and why they chose them makes me feel seriously inspired for all things springtime.  I'm just crossing my fingers it sticks around a while (no more snow!).  To find out more about the rad people, shops, and blogs behind Bubby and Bean's April sponsor team, just click on the links in each of their submissions below to visit their homes around the web.

1. MACK FROM SOULMAKES: WHITE
I tend to drift toward anything white, ivory or cream colored for spring. The renewal of color and life that takes place each year at this time is so intoxicating to my soul! White embodies the presence of all those beautiful colors in the light spectrum and represents wholeness and completeness. I love it. (Plus, it's super cute with all my jewelry :) )!

2. MARIA FROM LITTLE TREE: PALE YELLOW

3. ANDREA FROM GAIA CONCEPTIONS: INDIGO
My favorite color for spring is indigo.  At Gaia Conceptions we create indigo's color using the vat dyeing method for its historical significance, ease of use, and the overall experience.  Our sweet indigo pot is only 7 years old but she gets better and better with every passing minute.  Indigo cultivation is good for the soil and the farmer.  Indigo is also calming to the nervous system, promotes physical and mental rest, balances the heart, stimulates the lungs, liver, thymus, and lymph system!

4. JESS FROM JESS VARTANIAN: VIOLET
My favorite color in the spring time is violet because of all the crocus that pop right through the thawing ground.  It's a sign that warm weather is on its way!

9. MAGEN FROM CRUMPLED FANTASIES: PINKS/CORALS
I wear a lot of neutrals so spring colors to me mostly means a change in lipstick. I'm excited to go from reds and berries to brighter pinks and corals.  I'm also eyeing a bright pink maxi skirt to add a dash of happy to my wardrobe!

10. AMBER FROM OBSESSIVISION: SEAFOAM GREEN
The arrival of spring brings new life so I'd have to say that seafoam green is my favorite color. A perfect combination of blue skies and freshly sprouted grass.

I'm loving yellow right now. It's one of the happy colors and makes me smile just looking at it! One of my favorite combinations is yellow and a neutral color like grey or nude.

Before I go, my favorite color for spring - like many of the others who contributed to this post - is good old yellow.  Yellow is actually a year-round favorite of mine, but for the last couple of weeks, I've been on a crazy yellow kick.  I put yellow flowers throughout my house, wear pops of yellow with almost every outfit, even feel drawn to yellow foods (cannot get enough lemon lately).  Yellow reminds me of sunshine and daffodils and everything spring.  So for me, it's the queen of all colors right now.

Your turn!  What is your favorite color for spring?  I want to know!

  11. Some of these ladies are favorite reads of mine, and some I don't know so I am clicking through and visiting them all! I love these posts. :)

    My favorite colors for Spring are a soft, cool Orange. Gray mixed with: blue, neon green or pink. I love gray, because we have wonderfully rainy weather in Utah (I love rain/stormy weather) and the pop of color is joyful. I also love mixed colors... I don't know how else to describe them. A bold, swirly pattern with vibrant blue, purple, green and yellow or really any mix, puts a smile on my face.
