Do we always want what we don't have? I'm very fair skinned, golden haired (a bit more ashen as I age), pretty "sunny" in a lot of ways, and yet I favor blacks and darker colors, almost exclusively silver jewelry, eschew gold, yellows and oranges. (Interestingly, this struck when I was turning to leave my local deli. For no apparent reason, I locked eyes with a West Indian woman I'd never seen there before, and this is what bubbled up in my head.)
