Do you like blue, too? I also like orange, but I don’t give a damn what you think of orange. ---

Hmm. I once was part of a group at a church camp that identified people’s personalities by the color they represented to each other. I was usually orange because I am a bit aggressive and a bit sunny. I strive to be a soft warm pale yellow. Sunny but not overpowering but generally a happy pleasing color. Green was attributed to young inexperienced people. Blue to very disciplined consistent type people. Brown people were the ones perceived as earthy and warm and fuzzy. Red was aggressive. Purple a mix between loyal/consistent and aggressive. I was a very rich color but had hints of pompousness. So. I like soft yellows, most shades of blue, most pastels in general. ---

Interesting, **Major Kong** , the colors you chose are opposites. I like blue, and also green. ---

Blue’s nice. You know, there’s this study that tells you what your sexual attitude is based on the colors you like. Oh, and I like orange, too, whether you give a damn or not. > [@](#): > > BLUE: Lovers of blue are wonderful sex partners. They are sinners, affectionate and sensitive to their partner’s needs. They consider love making a fine art and their approach is elegant. Men who love blue are like concert pianists, delicately ravaging their partner like they would play a baby grand. Women in the blue category enjoy sex to the fullest. They are exciting partners but their passion may be compared to a tidal wave rather than firery aggression. Both women and men enjoy foreplay and the aftermath of lovemaking, as much as the sex act itself. In marriage a blue person is a wonderful mate, never seeking outside interests. > > ORANGE: Lovers of the color orange lean toward sexual fantasies. The sex act is regarded as a dramatic one-act play in which they are the star. Foreplay is as important as the act of love. They whisper sweet nothings, meaningless dialogue; they feel it is their image. Orange people often do not experience orgasm, but they put on a damn good act. Men tend to pull their partner’s hair, and women leave red welts on the sex partner’s back. ---

I do indeed like blue. Most people seem to like blue. I have a close friend who’s colorblind; even he likes blue (according to [this site](http://vischeck.com/), it’s one of the few colors he sees more or less properly). I prefer pink, though. But I hate orange. I really, really, really hate orange. And it’s one of my school’s colors. Ecch. ---

There’s blue and then there’s blue. The dull greyish everyday blue doesn’t do much for me, and neither does the washed-out pastel pale blue, but there’s a vivid deep blue that’s a passionate color and inspires awe. Like a Colorado winter sky the morning after a snowstorm. First prize ribbon blue. ---

I love the blue-green of Kentucky bluegrass and Lake Keowee, the deep blue hue of a summer sky and the face of the woman stuffed under my mattress. ---

I like blue, if it’s Duke Blue Devils Blue. Course you know that’s the only blue devils I’ve ever seen. Most devils are red. But my favorite color is purple, and then green. But purple is first. ---

In truth, I am not all that fond of blue, it is, well… just too blue. Not blue as in sad as far as the “too blue” goes, but simply too blue. A nice pastel yellow is mighty fine though, perhaps a forest green. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-like-blue/188816.md?page=2)
