Why would you have a favorite color. Is there a difference between bleu and red apart from the wavelength?
There is the influence that colour has on the psyche...

Color psychology is the study of color as a determinant of human behavior. Color influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. Colors can also work as placebos by having the color of pills be certain colors to influence how a person feels after taking them. For example, red or orange pills are generally used as stimulants. Another way in which colors have been used to influence behavior was, in 2000, when the company Glasgow installed blue street lights in certain neighborhoods which resulted in a reduced crime rate. Color can indeed influence a person, however it is important to remember that these effects differ between people. Factors such as gender, age, and culture can influence how an individual perceives color. For example, males reported that red colored outfits made women seem more attractive, while women answered that the color of a male's outfit did not affect his attractiveness.
Color psychology is also widely used in marketing and branding. Many marketers see color as an important part of marketing because color can be used to influence consumers' emotions and perceptions of goods and services.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychologyDon't have a favourite colour and if I HAVE to pick one I would say orange.
I've noticed I have a dislike for supermarkets that use yellows or greens in their logo and around the store. No idea why other than green relaxes me and I find grocery shopping a tedious chore on any given day.
