Since I have stopped paying attention to trends I just this week found out that Pantone chose this shade of bluish lavender as color of the year for 2022. I spent most of 2021 with violet on the brain, so it should have appealed to me. Instead I thought, Eh, okay.
I have no idea what color will catch my eye or take over my quilting and sewing. It's always an emotional thing for me. I usually don't fixate on one, although I've had years like 2021 when I've worked primarily in one chunk of the color wheel. Green is a favorite of mine, especially paired with gray. So are any range of sea or sand colors. I love light and beach colors the most, I think, as they're calming for me (I also did my house in them), but I also appreciate dark and bold palettes for their drama and energy.
Now I'm wondering what my personal color of the year will be. I know it won't be bright yellow or hot pink (over my dead body colors) and I think I've temporarily exhausted my love for violet. Maybe orange. I really like the lovely orange shades in my koi quilt. :)

I don't think I've been particularly fond of the last three colors Pantone has picked for their 'color of the year'. I'm generally not fond of a lot of colors because they're not my taste. Most colors that I like are whatever grabs me in combination though I admit, the only two colors there are in the entire world for a car as far as I'm concerned are deep, deep black or arrest me red, but any other color I have to study or it really just has to shout 'look at me'. Not this one. This one is just...meh.
