SYNOPSIS:
After
years of living a beige existence, Cat Larose, international color marketing
expert, finally added a little color to her own life. All it took was a Paris
sunset and a little red suitcase.
Everyone wanted Cat's life. She had a handsome husband, a stylish home and a fascinating career as an international color marketing consultant. Work took Cat to some of the world's most beautiful cities but something was missing: ironically, it was color. One day she found herself in Paris watching a sunset and, in a moment of clarity, she caught a glimpse of her sepia-toned future.
When Cat got home, she did what she'd longed to do for years. She decided to paint her bedroom a magnificent Bordeaux red and put an end to her beige existence and her marriage. That was the beginning of a new life.
Any Color but Beige is a bright, funny, genuine account of one woman's search for love in the deep end of the dating pool. None of the self-help books prepared Cat for the often funny, occasionally puzzling, sometimes sad but always colorful dating adventures with an international cast of frogs, princes and players. Cat makes the classic female mistake of thinking that love is a life preserver. Until one day she learns to swim.

I actually had a friend who believed in auras and colors and she told me I was a yellow. (Hope that's a good color) I love memoir style books!

I haven't compared my life to color but do know I lean toward blues and purples in clothing as opposed to more neutral colors in home decor.

Sounds like something I would think about. Blue and yellow at different times. I contribute colors to different thoughts and some days I think of myself in blue and others it's in yellow. Yellow is a dominate color in my thoughts.

I have never compared my life to a color but if I had to pick I would go with green.

I haven't before but if I did my first thought is blue. Not for sadness but just because I tend to wear blue a lot and it is kind of neutral.

It would have to be neon pink with a touch of midnight blue
