monochrome

So in a fit of becoming-my-mother, I organized my drawers and my closet last night.  I feel good about this, but looking at the closet in order to be pleased with the new tidiness has made me realize something else.

I see the following colors:

black
white
brown
grey (mostly charcoal, but a couple of lighter things as well)
red
blue (mostly navy or nearly-navy, but one or two lighter blues)
purple (mostly a deeper, plummy sort of purple; not sure if I have anything lilac-y)
pink (just a bit, a kind of candy pink)

In the drawers I do a little better, in that I also have green (one kelly and one army) and a sort of coral, not at all the same as the pink but not all the way to orange.  (If you include bridesmaids' dresses, I've also got a hunter-green and a burgundy (it may actually have called itself "mulberry"), but the odds I will ever wear either of those again are nil plus the fact that they no longer fit.)

It feels weirdly monochrome in there, although writing it down I guess I can see that it's not.  But:  there are other colors, aren't there?  The entire family of yellow is, as sanj says, forbidden unto me, but ... I don't know, but I feel like now that it's September maybe there will be some kind of rust-colored stuff out there I can buy.  Provided, of course, that I will ever wear it.

By which, that is, I mean that I don't know if tomorrow is the best time. But some future date, absolutely.
