What Your Favorite Tea Towel Color Says About You

Your tea towel says more about you than you might think.

Sure, it dries dishes and hangs prettily from the oven handle, but it also quietly reflects how you move through the world. The colors you’re drawn to often mirror how you create comfort, express emotion, and move through your day.

For this little personality exercise, we’re exploring color analysis by looking at the dominant color in each tea towel design—the shade that takes the lead and sets the tone. Whether your style leans calm, bold, cheerful, or refined, there’s a tea towel that perfectly matches your vibe.

So grab a cup of tea, scroll on, and see what your favorite tea towel color says about your vibe.
