color trend in yarn buying

[inkaholic]

I'm a fairly new knitter still trying to build up a stash and every time I consider buying some yarn to make something, it's always out of the same color, unless it's for someone who requested it be in a specific color. I have to restrain myself from buying tons of skeins of deep red yarn. Most of my clothes are black or blue, and I probably only own two or three red shirts. So why am I being pulled relentlessly towards red? Anybody else have this happen to them (keep buying in the same color scheme of yarn?)
