Red.
There are instinctual connotations that surround this colour. We are taught when we are young that red relates to danger for it is the colour of blood and fire, yet I am drawn to it. Fire engines streak through the city in red like a beacon of destruction, yet it is mildly comforting to know we have individuals putting their lives on the line to save others deep within that red vehicle. We see red everywhere for Christmas and Valentine's Day - symbolising love. How contrasting are these images? Danger and love.
This is is why red has been my favourite colour for many years. It can be whatever you want it to be. It can help you feel the rage of heartbreak or the warmth of love. But then again, it's just a colour. Right?
Interesting question.
I usually say that my favorite color is blue, but of course it really depends on what the color is part of. I like blue shirts but not blue walls. It's weird, but that's humanity for you.
According to Livescience.com, blue is the most common favorite color of both men and women. While blue has a big lead over runner-up green among guys, ladies like purple almost as much as blue. It might be a little surprising to find out that pink is only the fifth favorite color choice for women.
Some people particularly like certain combinations of colors. I happen to like the combination of orange and blue, probably because those are my college colors (University of Florida). I also like red with a little yellow, like the St. Louis Cardinal baseball team wears on their jerseys.
