Favorite color...

Blue, but not sky blue!

Purple. Because in school it was always either red or blue (wannabes) so I just said f it and did them both.

Thanks for all of your replies...this confirms a little more what I picked up on in other forums.

According to studies in color preference, warmer colors such as yellow, orange, and red are preferred by younger co-horts from infancy through young adulthood, and then preferences change to the cooler colors, with blue predominant, with green and neutrals close behind.

Purple was pretty unpopular among men, while women weren't crazy at all about orange.

Aspies tend toward a wide variety, but I noticed a strong liking for orange, red, and a few yellows, and I noticed many males liked purple, and not just blues, but specific blues.

Coolie.

We stand out even in our color likes.

Ochre.

Rjaye, that's interesting. My favorite colors changed a lot throughout life.

My first favorite color was blue. When I was about three, my preschool friend said "My favorite color is pink. What's yours?" I didn't know what the word "favorite" meant, so I just copied her and said "Pink." He response was "No, that's my favorite color. You have to pick a different one." So I said "Blue." I then asked her what "favorite" meant, and she told me. I kept blue, not because it was actually my favorite color, but because I had said it was. (Although I did love a certain deep, "electric" shade of blue. You know, Grover's color.)

Later on in preschool, I stared at a violet toy while at a friend's house. For a few months my favorite color was violet.

In kindergarten, there was a crayon labeled "Flamingo Pink." It was a shade of hot pink, and became my favorite color for a while. I was very obsessed with my Flamingo Pink crayon, and cried when some kid broke it on purpose to upset me.

By the time I was a freshman in high school, my favorite color was blue again. That was until I read a study that said "80% of Americans prefer the color blue." It made me mad that I was in the majority, so I changed my favorite color to green. I guess that's still where I stand today.

I like warm colors.

Favorite colors: Green and Light Blue
in the range from yellow to blue in the visible spectrum are the nicest colors
ultraviolet colors are not bad either

Red. I don't like yellow or orange though.

Purple, but only dark purple. I have no idea why.

All kinds of reds mostly, my room is painted in Burgundy.

I like green

I'm like that... I too love green and blue, but I've hated the colour turquoise with a passion as long as I can remember.

My favourite colours are green and blue as I said before, along with purple. I generally prefer the more greyish or bright shades of these colours.

My favourite colors are Silver, Blue, Black and White. I was also thinking over in my head while reading other peoples post if to put red or not because that was my favourite when I was young but not so much now although I do like it. It does seem true that younger people tend to like warmer colours and my tastes have changed.

I seem to remember when I was young I would dislike blue but I had reasoning behind it rather than an actual dislike of the color more like I wanted to dislike blue.

Ok now im starting to have ideas... Favourite colors could be influenced by environment. I know the first color we are exposed to must be red in the womb although that might be innaccurate since I dont think unborn/newborn babies can see yet?? The colors I would say we are most exposed to in the real world are Blue because the sky is everywhere and Black because of Night and Shadows so over time these could have effect changing the favourite color from warm to some of these.

I guess the way to test it is going to people who live in a desert and ask their favourite colors.. maybe they like yellow/orange.

Black and burgundy rocks.

I like looking at all colors (this goes for flowers, too) and I don't think I could really decide which ones I prefer. Each has its own beauty.

To wear:

Deep blues (indigos, Prussian blues, midnight blue) - extremely calming, put me in a thoughtful mood, make me want to slow down and contemplate
Deep greens (dark emerald greens, dark, rich jade and forest greens) - both calming and warm
Bright scarlet, bright raspberry, other bright red or purplish-red shades, also some darker vinous hues - these are my "happy" colors, they give me an instant jolt of joy when I see them
Any shade of orange, though I prefer the brighter, sunny ones on the border between lighter orange and darker yellow - make me happy too, but in a calmer, more carefree and less intense way
Pastel shades of khaki, gray, brown, beige, lighter green - very soothing, make me feel like I'm blending into the natural environment
