Ooo lilac ! I'd personally love some the shade of purple used at Commes Des Garcons but er..they were just socks so here is some John Galliano.

Tangerine...

ps. All the shades of blue at Alexander McQueen =

I like tights because they're democractic more accessible as a trend and easier to work into an outfit.

another quirky color combo. it seems like tights invite some wild color combinations.

i prefer duskier hues for tights. although i do have a pair of bright pink ribbed tights that i pull out once in awhile. i get a lot of up-down looks when i do. not always in approval.

but i think that's the thing about colored tights. they seem wild, even when an outfit is pretty demure.

soft, you look great in your tights. i think teal and burgundy are two of the best of the offbeat colors. they seem neutral, with a kick.

oh, and one more. i've saved a lot of these images without really knowing why i'm drawn to them.

I love the tights with the open shoes. so subtle and gorgeous with that dress.

Oh my gosh, both the examples from Sartorialist and Fashionista are immense. I love this trend - colored tights are an instant way to make an outfit pop.

^ ah, well, that's my loose terminology. I meant that the shoes are strappy.
The tights look to me like a deep burgundy.

Coloured tights have always been my standard in the fall and winter, since I was little. I hope I never give it up! I like to wear tights and shoes that are the same color.

i love this look. i have a few pairs of bright tights... royal blue-purple, gold, rust, and bright yellow. they're starting to get a bit fuzzy and worn out - i think i'm going to order some pairs from American Apparel. they have a lot of beautiful colors and are allegedly opaque. i like Violet, Poppy, and Plum in particular.

I just love this look. Saw it first in the Coach ads. I adore it!

strawberry daiquiri comes to mind immediately. making a lasting impression about 2 years ago.

This girl may be my favorite. I have never coveted purple tights before!

I love coloured tights. I've got dark blue, teal blue, red, white. I'd love some orange or a really bright aqua blue. The pink and pale purple are nice too.

I think I like this.. in London I almost only see girls with bright stockings.. that is just way too much for me personally.. I really love it when it's a dark eggplant colour... yum.
