I want you to pick a color then provide the context in your post, whether it is your favorite car color, least favorite wall color, tastiest crayon color or…?

I voted “Other” as I find standard colors boring. I’m much more into subtle shades of colors such as: sage green, marine blue, mustard yellow, etc.

I don’t see polls on Tapatalk! So, that would be no. I didn’t know there was one. Any help?

Why is there no purple? Why is there no gray?

Why are you not seeing the “Other” option?

BTW, I logged in through web view and answered the poll, but I’m still not sure how to ascertain whether a poll even exists on Tapatalk.

I picked Other, for **purple**. My three year old daughter loves loves loves the color purple. Any day when she gets to wear purple clothes is a good day. When we’re out somewhere and she sees something purple she points and exclaims “Purple!” It just makes her so happy, and now the color purple makes me happy too. She’s adorable.

I wish you could vote in polls with Tapatalk too, but I haven’t figure out how.

So if I started a poll titled “How many people here are posting through Tapatalk?”…😃

Other. I prefer shades and textures to hues. My favorite color is corduroy.

Yellow, just because Crayola retired the “Dandelion” color recently and it seems relevant.

Green. Because it’s the colour of Kermit The Frog.
