The first paper I bought was Rich Regals. But as I purchased more I found myself getting more and more Soft Subtles. I have almost all of the ink pads now with Earth Elements a close second.
Bold Brights is my favorite!! I find that every time I go to make a card, I pulling those colors. I'm trying, though, to use some of the other collections. My next favorites are the earth elements.
Bold Brights most definitely! I love pink passion, green galore & temp. turquoise. Since the color change I would say that soft subtles is my second fav. group.
What a tough decision...before the color changes I used bold brights most often. But now I can see soft subtles taking over. I was never overly into Rich Regals, however, I always seemed to end up using those colors for my Christmas cards.
Although I like how the color change rounded out the families. I think the EE looks so much better now with that blue shade stuck in there. Also the SS look so much more vibrant than before -- not nearly as washed out!
I've been dedicated to Rich Regals for my stamping career to date. Will be getting Earth Elements this summer as my new Balmy Breezes set is begging for it.

I am first an Earth Elements, with Rich Regals a close second. I get in Bold Bright moods (when I'm feelin' sassy!) and almost NEVER use the Soft Subtles. I've been really trying to use the SS colors recently, since it seems absurd to have bought all this paper and have it just sitting there! I do really like some of the new colors, though, so I can foresee more use of the SS family now.
It kinda depends on the season of the year, too, though. Summer time is generally when I feel the BB, winter is usually the bursts of RR. EE is all year but even more in the fall. SS.... already mentioned that I don't have a season for them. Spring makes sense, but doesn't really happen yet.

Just reading your post about the colors reminding you of the seasons - do you remember that time in the 80s that everyone was getting their colors done? I could never figure out which ones were me. lol, I don't think I was ever a soft subtle kinda person. No one would ever say anything I did was subtle.... ;)

lol. yep, I remember the whole color craze. never could figure out my colors, either. worked with someone that "got his colors done". found out a particular shade of purple that "was for him" so he tossed his entire wardrobe and bought all new clothes in that color. he was weird.
