I know....I do like some pink, but it has to be just right...cistus, for instance...and I like blue in echium vulgare and echium Tajinaste, etc...love purple, but have some Spike Speedwell that is a deep purple and looks great in a pot, in the ground it's just too dark, weird...I do use a lot of purple...
It is so strange here, overcast and almost cold all day, after 5, I can go over to the beach and read and it's sunny and warm...
