For artificial flavors or football teams, purple. Go Ravens! Otherwise, green ---

Money is Green. Money is Good. Therefore Green is Good. This fuzzy logic may not apply in places where money comes in a rainbow of colors. ---

I prefer Octarine, the eight colour of the Rainbow- which is a sort of purplish-green. 😛 ---

Move over, green. Purple is moving on in. Last year, green was on top. Next year (spring and summer 2006), purple will rule. ---

Well, lesse… Packers: Hate 'em. Jets: Hate 'em even more. Eagles: Hate above all others. Vikings: Own 'em. 🙂 I’m gonna have to cast my vote over to purple as well. But…go Big Blue! ---

Both. Those are my two favorite colors. If I have to pick one though, I guess I pick green. My bedroom is **green**. [aside] Do color-names get weird to anyone else the more you type them out? What a weird name. Green. [/aside] ---

Isn’t Green this year’s purple? or is it the other way around. I dunno, I can’t keep up with fashion. Regardless; green. It tastes better. ---

Depends on what shades of green and purple we’re talking about here. My mom’s favorite color is green, which means I grew up in a house where the majority of everything was green. The living room walls were a seafoam green, I think the dining room as well. Dad tried repainting the seafoam and ended up with pretty much the same color! I’ve developed a distaste for that shade from being overexposed to it. ---

Purple is my least favorite color, though there are a few shades I like (say, lilac). Almost every shade of green is terrific. Artifical Green Apple Flavor \> Artificial Grape Flavor ---

Purple! My friends back east and were all color coded. I was purple. My current roommate is green. Purple is clearly better. And I’m sorry, artifical grape is better than green apple, although not when it has that Dimatapy taste of retreat fruit drink from my youth as a Catholic school girl.
