What is your favorite color and why?
Has this always been your favorite color or do you swap and change like your underpants mrgreen
Mine is blue but it used to be red when I was a child. The only reason I can think of of why I don't like red as a color now is because it doesn't really suit me when I wear anything red. I don't know why I like blue except for the fantastic deep blue skies you get here. They really are amazing )
one with a "u" in it ;)
:roll: :lol: Trust you to notice - you weren't supposed to say anything until the second page after no one else had said anything.
Yellow, Yellow when I was a kid and still yellow. Except in the form of clothing which I find too banana-ish and auto vehicles which still remind me of telecom vans. (or what ever it was you got carried off in.) grin
My fave colour is green, but I think I may have been brainwashed into it.
I have 5 siblings, and to simplify things my parents colour-coded our possessions. Green was my colour. Even my little baby blanket and layette were green.
Although I seem to remember adoring the colour pink when I was about six years old, and I also secretly wished my name was "Cindy", like the little girl on "The Brady Bunch". Such a groovy name.
Well, now that I've put the colour pink behind me, I really do think I like green best. Not so much the hospital wall green or fluorescent green or even mint green (although a nice aquamarine or turquoise can move me), but pastel green, kelly green, forest green, jade, and even olive are all scrummy in my book.
Green reminds me of living things, and makes me feel calm and contemplative.
But apparently pink is also a calming colour

One of the most interesting examples of color effects is Baker-Miller Pink - a color that's close to bubble gum pink . Also known as "drunk tank pink" this color is used to calm violent prisoners in jails. Dr. Alexander Schauss, Ph.D., director of the American Institute for Biosocial Research in Tacoma Washington, was the first to report the suppression of angry, antagonistic, and anxiety ridden behavior among prisoners "Even if a person tries to be angry or aggressive in the presence of pink, he can't. The heart muscles can’t race fast enough. It’s a tranquilizing color that saps your energy. Even the color-blind are tranquilized by pink rooms." (1) In spite of these powerful effects, there is substantial evidence that these reactions are short term. Once the body returns to a state of equilibrium, a prisoner may regress to an even more agitated state.

Green It is restfull and natural.
I also like purple because it often seems so rich.
Red! No... Blue! Blue! Aaaaaaaarggghhhhhh!!!!
Actually mine is green.
I don't have a favourite colour as such - mine do change - with the moods, the weather or the seasons. My favourites to wear are not necessarily the same as my favourites to see around me.
I don't necessarily favour a single colour, more a group of colours - much like children who love rainbows. Sometimes it's a combination of colours that pleases me most.
This is the person who fell in love with a particular paint chart so much she wanted to frame it and hang it on the wall..... (I haven't.... yet.)
Depends in what context mine in green .
but my football team is blue american football team is burgundy and gold , or just plain black/white
Another vote for green here.

I think being put in a pink room sober would increase my irritabilty too
Yellow.
Always been a fan of yellow cars and motorcycles. Our Mugen CRX Si is bright yellow and when our Ducati arrives on the scene it'll be yellow too...
We almost had the yellow Xterra but Emily fancied the green otherwise......

Potential recruits for the "Green Army" then?
Green here....obviously

I've become so used to spelling both British and American ways, depending on context, that I started answering the puzzle:
blue
purple
mauve
I'm too damned clever by half. :lol:
