My favorite color is green - specifically dark(er) shades thereof.

In practical terms, however, I lean more towards winter colors, such as grey, brown and black.

Clothing, home furnishings and cars reflect this.

Strange that so many people chose red - I personally can't stand it - too aggressive of a color.

To each his own, I guess...
 
There is something about the right intensity of purple (and especially related lavendar and lilac hues) that has the effect of being both soothing and very pleasing to the eye.

And iBlue, now I know why you have red as well as blue in your avatar design - makes perfect sense!

Nice one! We also would have accepted, "I don't mind feeling blue..." :cool:

:D ha ha ha. :p

you know i never really thought of my avatar like that but it does make sense. good find. looks like the grateful dead (and apple) play another role in my life. ;)

that's funny, it must be perception or something; i always think of it as a warm inviting color.

Yeah, it's just a personal preference thing - that's one of the main reasons I like red, because of its aggressiveness. I am a very outgoing, extroverted individual, and am not shy, passive, timid, or intimidated by things like that. So as you say, to each their own! :cool:

You're welcome iBlue, anytime.... :)
 
Blue definatly.

Blue is the color of the sky, the color of like 60% of my shirts, the color of my sheets, the color of my carpet in my old room, the color of water in oceans, the color of my mom's car, the color of my eyes, etc


I also like maroon and gold together becasue they are my school colors
 
I have a liking for silvery-type things, unfortunately that colour doesn't show up too well on the forums so I'll have to do with something more visible.

I like it because its an inbetween kind of colour and its very moonlike which I can relate to. I'm also fond of greys for the same reasons but they're less shiny. ;)

Come on, someone has to like brown, pink or yellow??!? :p ;)

My very good ex-co-worker friend absolutely LOVES yellow.... Thinks it's the cheeriest color in the world. does that count?

And if my sister-in-law were voting on this thread she'd vote pink by a landslide. At one point the inside of her car was plastered in pepto-bismol pink.

Cool, good to know there are at least some poeple out there who like those colors - they're feeling left out on my poll. :( ;)

Blue is the color for me. Any shade of blue will pretty much do it, but darker blues are usually my favorite. I like it because it is very calming and cool. Not to mention that I think I look good in blue... ;)

thats is my same opinion (except i think i look a little bit better in light blue and green). Black is very ordinary, but dark blue is similar when you glance at it, but when you closely look at it (like on a car), its different and stands out more in a crowd. A dark blue computer also looks good alot (not to many though, had to photoshop them to get alot of good images).

Not to mention that various shades of blues make blue eyes look awesome!!
 
Brown would have been my second choice, and yellow would have been my third. I very nearly voted brown, but decided red won out. :)
 
quick answer...blue...and it does not surprise me that is what most peole chose on the poll

but for a baseball cap, i like black

for a beanie, something other than black, but not pink or light blue

for a t shirt or polo, black or blue is what i usually wear

for pants, i like faded blue jeans as opposed to dark blue jeans...but not too faded like is the style with teens and 20-somethings

for cars, black is nice but of the three cars i owned, i didn't like any of the colors...orange datsun sedan, metallic blue nissan station wagon, tan volvo station wagon, but i have started to tolerate the tan color since it does not show dirt as much as a bright orange or any metallic colored car finish

for a watch face, i like white or tan though the watches i have used had silver, metallic blue, and bright yellow

for jewelry, rings or watches, i like silver colored metal whether it be steel or white gold

so favorite color does not really apply to me when i really break it down

Are you reading my mind?!

DAH! I like all the colors! Except dirty ones, prefer higher chroma (sp?).

It has to be black – it goes so well with everything, especially amber.
'Black! Black! You lock me in the cellar and feed me pins!'

It would appear your avatar agrees with you. ;) :)

Black! Like the night! What's for breakfast mother? Pin soup?!
 
Black for me, though I love greens as well.

Infinity had a great ad a while back describing the "color" black. I'll see if I can find it.....

Still no votes for brown or pink. I though pink would at least had a few votes... :eek:

If I hadn't chose undecided, I probably would have picked pink. I think it's bad-a**; my pink converse were my favorite shoes of all time. Maybe it's because I'm a large bearded guy. :p
