Colors Out of the Closet

Having recently done laundry, I couldn't help but notice the different colours I was pulling out of the dryer. What looking at those colours got me thinking about was something I've heard in conversation a few times: Comfort Colors.

Here is my palette: (Foregoing the risk of being too embarrassing, I have conveniently left out my colourful fish boxers, although they seem to be the most colourful things I own.)

People often wear colours that they either like or make them look their best, obviously, but what I've heard, and experienced, is something of "comfort colours." Mine actually used to be black, despite there being barely any black in the photo. When I stopped wearing it, and now brown dominates, I felt incredibly exposed. A lot of what I wear tends to be dark still, but putting on the bright orange shirt from the photo above for the first time felt like I was violating so many of the eyes around me. Now, it's a 'comfort' shirt.
