Deep red, a great carpet color. But must be deep red; light red is an ugly color.

Green. It’s my favorite color because of spring.
Lush lawns and trees make me very happy.
When I was a child, I asked my uncle what color his car was. He replied, “They say it’s limelight green.” I asked, “Who’s they?” He stated, “The people who make crayons.”
For a long time, I believed that “they” were indeed the people who make crayons, and even now, I suspect it may be true.

Green is my favorite color, walking through the woods in summer is my favorite pastime. I like plants. Green is soothing.

Blue is the best color. Period. Think ocean, skies, eyes…

Red because I like red. I also like shades of red - burgundy, maroon, rose, crimson… you get the idea.

I’ve noticed a surge in puce automobiles lately. I don’t have one myself, but I think it’s classy and interesting.
