Rhapsody in Blue

When we first discussed H's decorating needs and living space, she was adamant about one thing: no blue. In apartments past, she was anchored to shades of blue: furniture, linens, art, her dishes... It's her signature colour. And it made gift giving quite easy. Today she feels, perhaps with some encouragement from me, that a change is needed.

Now how to comfortably separate the blue from her? If you believe this sort of thing, you're drawn to certain colours based on your personality, and those colours will bring out the best in you. After working in a series of multiple choice questions into our chats, one quiz provided the following analysis, emoticons included:
You're blue! You care a lot about people :) that's a good thing. :P

OK. But let's delve a little deeper, shall we? Another reputable study also revealed that H, as one of the blues:
Need to achieve a stable and peaceful condition, enabling them to free themselves of the worry that they may be prevented from achieving all the things they want. They want to make a favorable impression and be regarded as a special personality, using tactics cleverly in order to obtain influence and special recognition.

Well, perhaps that last line wasn't necessary.

H, now is the time to think of any colours you don't want. And what's my budget? And what do others think?

After a careful sniff of each card, my rabbit selected a warm green hue called Garnish. In keeping with the spirit of the name, she's eaten the corner as a mark of her favour.

Predictably, Lola refused to play along. I don't think she's forgiven H for the incidents last year.
