Gray is definitely a favorite color of mine, but I also enjoy [jewel tones](http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/style/tmagazine/25tglamour.html). [Prussian Blue](http://www.hawthornprintmaker.co.uk/images/PrussianBlue.jpg) is one of my best colors; it really brings out my coloring. ---

All shades of turquoise and aqua. I read somewhere that we’re usually instinctively attracted to colors that flatter us, and these to make my eyes bluer. ---

Green Also Blue. I also respect those colors for their tonal integrity. Dark greens and blues are still regarded as greens and blues. Very light sky blues and sea foams are still thought of as blues and greens. At least in English thinking minds. Red turns to maroon or pink. Lavender is only just sorta purple. Yellow doesn’t do dark. Dark orange is brown. ---

Green Almost any shade from acid through to licorice. Mostly olive green, lately. I kind of like purple too, if I can’t get the greeee-eeen! ---

Atomic tangerine! (Fine, it’s really blue, but atomic tangerine sounds way cooler.) ---

**Blue.** ( **Black** a close second) It reminds me of the sky, wonder, the mysterious, and the unknown. I’ve always been fascinated by color though, and really, any color has a special place for me. But, for me, blue and black, are colors I associate with the profound. ---

Blue. Actually, any color in the spectrum that is in close proximity in the light spectrum. Purple and blue look really good on me. Due to skin color. I spent three years in a psych ward (HEY! I worked there!) and every year they re-painted the walls a light shade of green. Seems the pysch docs had decided that green was ‘calming’ to the patients, so that was the color of the entire ward. Being in the army, I figured it was just a green thing. But I might be wrong. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-which-is-your-favorite-color/466996.md?page=3)
