Winter greens?

Everything is still covered in white snow. Beautiful, but bleak. When the landscape is covered in white, the color that gets me out of a funk is green. Gorgeous, vibrant green, like this skein of Sweet Georgia BFL Sock.
What color brightens your day when you need a little pick me up?

Emerald Greens! Is this Sweet Georgia's Lucky? How about Tosh's Malachite-- it is just gorgeous. Love those emeralds!

If it's yarn, just about any bright color. I don't usually wear yellow (doesn't look good on me) but I have 2 coordinated skeins of sock yarn. One if the brightest clear true yellow & the other one is subtly variegated - the yellow with soft orange & green (perhaps other colors too but very subtle). And I just find those 2 skeins to be the cheeriest colors ever. In general, I find bright, clear, fire engine reds invariably perk me up. And pale spring green.

After years of knitting with neutrals and earth tones, then deep jewel colors, then 60's brights, I suddenly discovered pastela although they were here all along! Can't enough of yellows, pinks, aquas. Love to combine them with ecru.

Green, turquoise, Bright Blue --- love those colors when I need a pick-me-up. I have a couple of skeins of the Opal in the spring yellows and light blues that I want to save for when it gets dark and dreary outside. The colors remind me of a spring day.

I knit a lime green sweater last winter. I love gray, but I've learned that I should not knit with it in the winter. I need bright, bright, bright colors to combat the fact that it's dark when I go to work and when I head home!

The green yarn in the picture is gorgeous! My pick-me-up color is not my favorite color, but it picks me up--it is coral. Hah! Maybe I was a mermaid swimming with the fishes among the coral in a former life. I don't know! :)

For me, it's the combination of yellow, pink and orange that gets me fired up. Or a deep, intense sky blue.

Perfect as 2013 color of the year!! Still love a bright red too

[Debby]

That is a gorgeous green, but red and blue are my favorite pick-me-up colors.

Blue sky and yellow sun colors pick me up until real spring comes. Right now I addicted to stripes and the Poste Fiji Sun is calling my name.

Red, like Henry's hat!

[Diane]

i think purple perks me up because I love it.

[Karen M]

Pinks and yellows are my favorites,

[blogless grace]

For a down day I reach for orange socks!

Purple always makes me happy. So does a sparkly yarn. Purple and sparkly and I'm on cloud nine. :)

Something bright - especially jewel tones!

[Patti Young]

Beach colors...bright blues,yellows, whites.

[Holly Waldrop]

My mother has always said that clothing in red will always be warmer than any other color. So red always makes me feel happy.

[Jan]

Although my favorite color is blue, my defunkify color is sunshine yellow!

[sharon]

I have been craving springtime colors, greens, light purple, pink, white & yellow.

[Cindy saar]

I'm not picky. When colors are put together well, I like them. Right now, though, I'm particularly fond of dusty rose and yellows. But earlier today, I saw a pretty shiny red and blue against a beautiful white, and I was drawn to it.

ORANGE!!!!
most definately

Purple and gold are my pick me up colors, remind me of crocuses and violets in the spring.
