Sounds like a fairly simple topic, I know, but I just happened to wonder what everyone's favourite colour is, and why.

Me, its That Gray That Looks Kinda Blue, mainly because to me it represents not only the honor and nobility and heroism of blue, but also the distinguished, old-lion feel of it being grey.

This is my favorite color
No reason why, other than it makes me feel happy inside, and makes me feel pretty when I wear it.

Most any shade of green. I'm not entirely sure why, it just makes me happy to look at it.

Pretty much all blues. But there's very few colors I don't like, what with synesthesia and all.

I'm Irish... that's basically why.

It changes depending on my mood. Right now? A dark green. Last night? A sort of blood red, after a black. Tomorrow? Who knows.

Purple is my favorite.

I chip in on the side of Royal Blue. It's just so rich and beautiful, and blue seems to be where my aesthetics have settled. (started out pink, then purple, blue, green, and back to blue)

Violet is my favorite color. I despise lavender, though.

As for why, there's a lot of reasons. For one, I just think it looks good. It's partway between red and blue with some black tossed in. It's royal without being gaudy. Purple is supposedly a color related to spirtuality, so I'm subverting that.

If I had to pick one...I would go with blue. The kind of blue the ":smallconfused:" smilie has. Though green is on my list of favorite colours too.

Teal. Roughly this. A little brighter though, closer to this maybe. Somewhere between them.

This is due to Starcraft.

Mauve Shirt

This color green
Most purples, of course
And this blue.

Blue, blue-purple. Something like this.

Ghastly Epigram
2008-11-03, 11:17 PM
Pinks and purples for the win definitely!

Especially fuchsia. I guess I just like them because they are pretty.

KingRexII

Purple, the color of royalty. Although I would never be caught wearing anything purple, I always pick it for avatars, game character colors, etc.

Griever

Red, not dark red, just red.

Zarrexaij

(Yes, it's black. H-U-R-F that spells hurf)

I also like red and indigo.

Mine happens to be Orange. I'm one of the few I know that likes that color.

Gotta be red nowadays. Used to be green.

Zeful
2008-11-03, 11:27 PM
Pretty much any dark color, there the only ones that make me look decent. I prefer something like forest green though because it's a tranquil color.

Slate Gray :smallbiggrin:

Krytha
2008-11-03, 11:36 PM
I prefer almost any shade of purple. But there are also several colours I like - certain blues and greens and other mixes. Yellow, red, brown, and orange are close to the bottom.

UncleWolf
2008-11-03, 11:38 PM
I have to say this shade of blue. Either that or silver.

RationalGoblin

Good taste, but mine is Silver or This Gray.

My favourite colour is royal blue tending toward black.

Most blues are dominant, forceful, colors for me. I will notice the "lady in blue" faster than the "lady in red". This is due to my eyes seeing everything with a slight blue hue to them (of which, took me with a bit of assistance a long time to realize/figure out).
This makes most blues favored.

However, color shouldn't be just left to a single hue, or even an assortment of tints and shades of that hue. Color, after all, have a lot more effect among other colors, shapes, placement, amount and so forth. So, towards the topic I must also state that I a fan of stark contrast. White on black. Pink (though I despise pink otherwise) on either black or a heavily shaded red. Violet and yellow, and most compliments that bring a strong contrast.

My ultimate favored color condition and color scheme at this point in time is a 'bright' electric blue that tints inward, struck down in rapidly changing, sometimes forking, thin lines down a solid sheet of a very dark violet (near black).

Does gray count as a color? If it doesn't, then blue.

Krytha
2008-11-04, 12:50 AM
I think shades are included in an unspoken manner.

Matticus

Grey is the best colour. It's dull and uninteresting. Nobody expects anything from it. It's peaceful and plain.

Trizap
2008-11-04, 02:14 AM
No green is the best one. its calm and spiritual, yet so vibrant, relaxed yet energetic, powerful but not out of control, its relaxed, tranquil and happy, that is all

Thufir

Indigo. Followed by purple and silver.

Saithis Bladewing

A nice dark purple...

Or maybe scarlet...

Nerd-o-rama

Blue of any variety is the color of reason and tranquility.

Deep lilac and other sades of purple. Kinda like this. The association is of wealth, academia and tradition. But mostly I just like it.

Moonshadow

Blue is the only colour for me. Tranquility and depth, with a measure of calm...

banjo1985
2008-11-04, 06:38 AM
I like Dark Blue, pushing on to almost black.

I'm also a fan of Crimson, though there's no colour on here that can really serve as a proper example.

AslanCross
2008-11-04, 06:40 AM
White isn't technically a color, but I like it anyway. I used to like blue a lot, and I still do.

Dallas-Dakota

Most shades of blue and black.

I hadn't even noticed the spelling anomoly until you pointed it out. What does that say about spelling conventions? :smallconfused:

Loads of people see to like blue. Me, I prefer yellow and pink. (Though I never wear either. I wear blue like a sensible person. But I decorate my rooms in yellow and pink.)

randman22222
2008-11-04, 07:46 AM
Silver or a slightly deep blue. The silver, no clue why, and I don't know about the deep blue, but if something is giving off blue light, it really screws up my eyes. :smallconfused:

I used to like blue a lot. I still like it, but just not so much the bright shades of it. Funny that of all the colours blue is the only one that I can find artificial. Sky is blue, birds are blue, flowers are blue... yet if I see a man-made blue object, if brightly coloured, only reminds me of blue raspberry things and Windex.

Anyway, green is probably my favourite now. Its just so... green.

And black. Always black. Everything goes with it, and on its own I think its a pretty elegant colour.

Pinks and orange-pinks are nice. Like the colours here labled "bright pink" and "coral pink". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shades_of_pink)

Bright colours of any type... do not like.

Coplantor
2008-11-04, 02:42 PM
Well, something like a dark blue might be. I always liked blue. I mean, If I had to choose one color to be sourrounded by, It would be blue, but a color for what it looks like and symbolizes then probably red. I can have blue walls, but a red room is just crazy.

B-Man
2008-11-04, 02:52 PM

Means that you're used to seeing both spellings/don't care about the spellings of words? It only bugs me 'cause it has to be one or the other for me. I'm weird like that. :smalleek:


I was wondering if someone would notice that!

You mean you intentionally did that to confuse me?! @.@

i also favor orange primarily. not just any orange though - there's a specific bright, higher-saturation orange that i love and do not get to see very often. 'tangerine' might be the approximate name. think the sort of orange that the transparent orange lego pieces are, or the color of the orange light sabers in KotOR.

course i'm just generally fond of high-saturation bright colors. walking down the street and seeing more'n half the people there wearing just black or something similarly boring makes me want to scream. i'm not saying i want to run round in magenta spandex, but still.

Coplantor
2008-11-04, 03:01 PM
Mmmm, now I would like to run around wearing magenta spandex. THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH MAGENTA!

Purple, definitely. Other favorites include indigo, turquoise, various blues and greens... and for some reason, yellow is my favored color for towels and submarines. :smallsmile:

I have actually seen this color scheme, and I have to agree with you that it is really amazing.

Crimson is very distinguished and regal. (So I'm not entirely sure why I like it so much.) Black's pretty good too.

MR.PIXIE
2008-11-05, 05:05 PM

Have to agree here. Except it's never yellow or Gold. :smallyuk:

Mostly Blues, Purples, Blacks, and Silvers.

It will most of the time be green. the only color that beats it is not really 1 color. Do you know when the fall comes and all the leaves change colors that range from orange, yellow, brown, and sometimes a dark red/orange? I love that mix...unfoutunatly AZ only has 2 seasons. HOT and COLD

Elhana

My favorite color would be blue of...oh, about this shade.

I also like forest green and dark purples. But navy blue would have to be my favorite.

I like green (forest or darker) and blue (again, mostly darker shades) as long as they aren't together. Both look great with black, gray, or silver.

Black
It's the color of infinity and of nothing. It's neutral and aggressive at the same time. It's also slimming.

Alleine
2008-11-09, 04:06 PM
Mine is green. I decided so in the sixth grade when everyone was asked to put their favorite color up on the board. 95% of the class put blue, so I decided to show those losers what was what and said green :smallcool:

Now half of my shirts are green, and I wear at least two pieces of green every day. I love green now!:smallwink:

Allysian
