Mine is black.

Before anyone starts, I don’t wanna hear it, black is a color!

    I think that a color needs a context for me to pick it. I don’t want my oven to be green. I don’t want my hair to be khaki. I like certain items or textures in certain colors. Any color looks awful as a giant uniform rectangle on a screen. I don’t have a favorite color period, it all depends. Color of what? Color for what?

    I’ll give you my three favorites:

    • Cosmic latte (#FFF8E7 or 42°, 9%, 100%)
    • Eigengrau (#16161D or 240°, 24.1, 11.4)
    • OLO (#00FFCC or 168°, 100, 100)

    Now, all of these given values are approximations of colors that are either difficult or impossible to truly measure or portray on screen, but… They also happen to look SWEEEET together in a palette!

    Purple is a great colour. It’s rich, royal and feels expensive… That’s why it was my favourite for a long time … But then I realized that Green is the middle of our visual spectrum. Midway between red and Violet/purple. Our eyes actually evolved to center on green and everything else was an outlier. It’s really mother naturey and that makes sense to me.

    I like both Purple/Violet and Green but for different reasons

    Orange and purple. yes that’s pretty Halloween-ey but that’s not the reason.

    that deep regal royal purple is just so nice. and I just like a lot of shade of orange for vibrancy

    That deep, metallic red that Mazda uses to paint their cars. So gorgeous. Especially as nail polish. Hubba hubba.

    Do people actually have consistent favourite colours? I’ve never really understood the question because for me it really depends on how the colour is being used and in what circumstance

    Its all the colors from a pigment perspective and is none the colors from a light perspective. But unfortunately no its a shade since you can’t mix another color with black and get a different color. Just a darker version of that color. Oh and brown is not a color as well. Since its orange that has been darkened.
