I see I'm not alone in the "all my clothes are 'neutral' so I like bright colorful handbags" club! I have one old random black/gray cross-body bag I use when I'm going to a bar or club (I strongly prefer handheld/over-the-arm bags in general, but some events/venues just call for my good ol' Punk Rock Bag), but my actual Really Good Bags are, from oldest to newest, bubblegum pink, dark red, orange, kelly green, yellow, and a slightly darker red. One unexpected benefit: when I have to meet clients whom I haven't seen in person in busy public places, they generally find me without a problem if I tell them to look for a woman with a bright green purse!
 
Black, grey, burgundy, navy, and silver. I almost exclusively wear black, white, or grey, and with that many dark clothes I prefer dark bags so I don't have to worry about color transfer.
 
I have a rainbow of bags and looking at them makes me really happy. :woot: I used to dress in bright colours and print but now I prefer black and other neutrals so the colourful bags are a must.
 
Purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, brown, pink, black, gray. All are in different shades. I wear my brown and pink the most. I love color. :)
 
I have nearly every color in my collection. Many of my clothes are neutral, so I bring in color / interest with my bags.


now my shoes on the other hand are mostly on the bland side, a few pops / wows, but my handbags, have all the interest.
 
My bags are neutral colors.
In that I've convinced myself oxblood, pink & vibrant sea blue are neutrals.

I also have brown & black bags. For those times I wipe the dirt from my chin & appear sensible.
Or thoroughly innocuous.

However, the pretty colors coordinate with more of my clothes.
Probably because I bought clothes to match favorite bags.
Or just pretend they coordinate & don't worry.

Ta da! Neutral! Anyone can do this magic, if stubborn enough. ;)
 
I have all colors except white and purple. I love my neutrals: tan, beige, brown, black, grey, silver. I have yellow, green, pink, red, blue, and orange bags. I had a white bag at one time, but felt it did not compliment my wardrobe. I don't wear purple clothes or care for purple.
 
Almost all of my bags are black and many of my future buys will likely be black as well. I find that it matches effortlessly with everything.

I do try to branch out a bit though (while still sticking to things that will match a black wardrobe) and have an LV canvas bag and a Vernis Griotte bag. Right now all of my colored bags are LV, unless you count a Givenchy that is black weaved with a bronzeish color for fancier nights out.

Any other colors I add will likely be things like oxblood or red... I can't see myself really venturing into bright bags. But never say never. I saw a orange Hermes item I was interested in but wasn't sure if orange would match with anything I own so passed on it. It was really nice though.
