People always ask, what’s your favorite color? Pink is usually what blurts out, but honestly, I LOVE all the colors. I could eat every single color like candy. And I love color wheels. I remember the color wheel on the wall of my art class in elementary school, then every single art class after that through college. I still swoon when I see color arranged like this.
