My room at home is done in a colour called Bahaman Sea Blue. It’s a really vivid shade exactly halfway between green and blue, and it’s my favorite colour. Hey, does anyone know if we can use hex to change the colour of text or are the colours in the options our only choices? ---

I like cool colors and I usually dislike warm colors. My favorite is Blue. No particular reason other than it is the most pleasing to my eye. Green and Purple are nice, too. ---

Green. A sea foam green Fender Strat. A mint jade green 1970 Lincoln Mark III. Emeralds. The forest. As an eye color, it always stands out. ---

**Purple** I have even managed to convert other people to purpleism. I participated in a similar survey with my interent rabbit group. The results - well what do you think. ---

I like both Blue and Orange, in that order, but really pretty close together. And especially together, actually 🙂 ---

Green and Blue always end up in a tie for me. I can never pick a fav. for sure really… Blue however has been my “favorite” color for longer (as i’ve loved it since I was a child), so I’ll give the nod to blue. That said, My #3 is black. ---

Green Reminds me of nature, and also looks good on me 🙂 ---

If you go outside on a clear day and look straight up - that’s the color. Would you describe yourself as “terribly partial” to it? How about “trbliptial”? ---

I havent tallied the results yet, I´ll wait till this thread is “dying” out before I count them, but I would have never gussed purple to be such a popular color. Nothing against the color, but it´s kinda psychedelic. Anyway, keep the votes comin´and I´ll tally the results some time in the future. 🙂 ---

If you put a shakey gun to my head and force me to choose just one color, I will choose silver. But if you allow me two colors, working together in perfect harmony, I will choose black and red. Those colors are zen for me. ---
