Hi, I'm an Anne Boleyn fanatic, and I'm wondering if it is known what her favorite color was. Google left me with more questions, as I got about 5 different answers. Thank you!

I recall reading somewhere that her "colors" were blue and purple, so I suspect those were her favorites or she wouldn't have chosen them. I really don't think you will get a definitive answer on that at this late date though.
I don't recall any descriptions of Anne wearing blue or her purchasing cloths to make clothing for herself in blue. She seemed to like black, which suited her colouring and showed off her dark eyes and likely auburn hair, plus it was a very expensive colour to wear because the cloth needed to be repeatedly dyed to turn that dark. She would have worn purple as queen, as well as reds which are royal colours, as well as cloth of gold and cloth of silver. She also seemed to be particularly fond of green, which would look great on a woman with reddish brown hair, and it was also a Tudor colour, so that tracks. I definitely remember reading that she liked colours like russet (roughly an orange-y sienna brown) and 'tawny' (sort of terra cotta/pumpkin). So that covers almost every colour but blue and yellow.

Idk, you'd have to look at her livery I suppose. I know KOA's was crimson, she loved rich, bright colours in her clothes. But as to Anne, Im not sure.
