I missed this bunnycat - but thank you very much!
That’s also a lovely thing to say, but as I will be posting next... there are two colors I struggle with!

Thank you sweetie!
I found tPF by accident - I was trying to authenticate a scarf and found a picture here. I thought “The Purse Forum? There’s a whole section about scarves? That’s crazy!”, but I came back to see what it was all about, and lurked for 2 months before finally jumping in... with both feet.
This is such a marvelous place - everyone has been so welcoming. I have learned so much - not only about H - but about myself too.
One of the things I’ve learned has been about color.
I started out rather willy-nilly, with Sales Googles firmly in place, though sometimes they were a little awry and I bought without really thinking. “Oh lookie here - a ‘bargain’!”
I’ve learned that there are some colors of pink I don’t care for on me and I don’t really like a busy floral pattern... though there are exceptions - of course.
An early mistake was Jardins Armenie (I have carefully deleted many of my archive pics of these errors)
It looks like Pepto Bismol on me. I tried one day to take a photo of myself wearing it like a shrug, and shocked myself. I looked like I was wearing a granny quilt in a horrible shade.
I re-homed it.
Oddly enough Chasse en Inde - also pink and a busy pattern - doesn’t make me feel that way.
I struggle with Mythes et Metamorphoses, the pink is has a little of that shade a don’t care for and the blues are very cool toned. But every time I show it here, I get so many compliments. I think the dark reds save it for me and I love the pattern.
Another scarf I found too cool was Flamboyant Web. The blue was icy.... so I tie-dyed it!

Thank you dear Holsby! Love the dragged in the mud scarf reference! Hilarious and I will be happy to use your reference when I wear it
Thank you Moma dear, no, all my Samourais have a place of honor in the silk tansu!
scarf Mail: new color tryout and really like it! thanks to @Bova123 for pm-ing her past model shots as i watched this go on-off-on (cheaper!) the bay. Sieste du Paradis reminds me of the one time my dad took me fishing below the “mesa cliffs” of the West Texas caprock, an extensive mesa / geological land-level break early Spanish explorers called “llano estacado,” the staked plains.
My most favorite CW in SdP is the white cliffs and green fonds, but that comes in only the CSGM(?).

Loving all the stories of everyone’s H journey! My own H trip is very recent - never imagined I would own more than the 5 I had a year ago (oh that slippery slope). I was all about color to begin with - not really giving much thought to what would go best with my wardrobe or coloring. So there were a couple missteps which have been rehomed. 
But I was able to find others that I love and wear often
Lately, I’ve been searching out more neutrals. The bronze Pivoines modeled beautifully by @lanit is on it’s way!

Love your silk tansu lanit, it’s so functional and beautiful
I do love that Mythes et M on you! Doesn’t remotely bring up Pepto images!One of the things I’ve learned has been about color.

You know I lurve that little tie dye! So cute! And that MetM is stunning with the stripes!
Gorgeous Jbizzybeetle! Congrats on it!
CC- though you may be drawn to the neutrals these says- that red/blue Pivoines really suits you!
My H tastes have changed since I started the H journey back in 1991 when I would brighten up my conservative business attire with a scarf. My favs back then were Daimyo, Cheval Fleuri, Rubans de Cheval and Carpe Diem. Due to the inevitable aging process colours that suited me back then no longer do, nowadays I favour brighter colours especially if there's a hint of rose indien in the mix. My all time fav and most well worn is my treasured Cavaliers du Caucase, my latest acquisition is Ex Libris en Parisiennes thanks to @scarf1.
Good heavens - that is Stunning!!
Congratulations - but your Piviones is beautiful too!
Thank goodness! I love pink - really - and have many (as you all know after pink week), it's just that sometimes I'm just kinda iffy on this one. I do like it on the stripes, and I think the dark red in it helps.
Thank you! I think my lil tie-dye project improved the scarf so much!You know I lurve that little tie dye! So cute! And that MetM is stunning with the stripes!

Gorgeous!
