I get this question all of the time “Ohhh mMM Gee, did you know you have a color named after you? Is Kelly Green your favorite color?”
What should my response be, “Oh my goodness, really? I had no idea” My name has been Kelly for the past 23 years and the color has been around a lot longer – of course I have heard this.
When I mentioned this to my roommate recently she had a great point – once you graduate college there is no iteration of your name or silly nickname you have not already heard. Her name is Camielle and someone thought they were genius coming up with the name Cameleon for her last month. Really? Of course she has heard that one. And probably anything and everything else that sounds similar.
The real crux of the matter is how to handle answering the question of my favorite color. Just because my name is Kelly does not mean Kelly Green is my favorite color. I have been known to wear it once in a a while but that is usually only on St. Patrick’s Day when it is the most popular hue around.
Other than that, the answer is a resounding no. I wrote a post last fall about how black is my favorite color and have said in an interview that royal blue is my favorite. Both of these are true. Royal blue / cobalt is my favorite color and if you will let me call black a color then it is a close second. That is not to say, though, that I am averse to color, I also really like teal and fuchsia. So there you go. With a resounding no, Kelly Green is not my favorite color.

i love to wear almost any color except Red, for some reason I just don’t like it with my skin tone & I think its too harsh!

Black will always hold a super special place in my heart (does this mean I have a black heart?), but since it’s technically not a color, I’m really loving colors in the teal/blue family recently. And I love blush/rose and gold together!
Tracy O'Neill says
I LOVE cobalt, black and teal! Teal brings out the color in my eyes and I think black and cobalt look great on almost anyone.

Haha! That is too funny that people would even think to ask that. I used to love in Lodi, CA and anytime I told something they would say “Oh, stuck in Lodi again” (like the song) and then they’d crack up like they were the first person to ever say that when really everyone would say that too me. People just aren’t as original as they think. Black is my favorite color to wear if you let me count it as a color too. But maybe Red is my true favorite color to wear. Although, I love your favorite too 🙂

This is so funny to me. I have never thought that Kellys should love Kelly green. It is just bizarre to me. I am loving the cobalt and turquoise. Happy weekend.

Cobalt is one of my favorite colors to wear too! I think the shade is flattering on everyone!

Love the cobalt blue shoes! Random story for you, may parents thought I was color blind was I was a toddler, whenever they asked what color something was I would always say Blue-Green. To this day that is still my favorite color. Although favorite color to wear for clothes is bright pink.
