It’s nice of you, SMDKL, to want to prevent any color from feeling unchosen.
I’m surprised green is ahead at this time. Plenty of time for blue to catch up.

No love for the purpleness?

SMDKL seems to have taken the colors of the rainbow, which capriciously split purple into indigo and violet to give 7 colors.

Even tho we have a lot of green in the house, I love red. Many of the clothes in my closet are red, rose, or pink.

Um. My username is SDMBKL, not SMDKL.
It stands for Straight Dope Message Board and my initials.

I voted, but my vote can be misleading. I have favorite colors depending on the circumstance.
My favorite color to wear is brown (goes great with my complexion, hair and eyes). In my home, my favorite color is yellow, followed by red. I really like the color purple, but not in my house (same with the color blue). My favorite color for a car is probably gold.
I may be over thinking this.

Blue, because I can’t see red or green. (Or more properly, what I see when I see red or green is not what everybody else seems to see).

I voted “other”. I have no favourite.
I used to have a fondness for white and had a lot of white objects, but that faded (so to speak) around the time that it got fashionable.

I voted for blue, but that doesn’t hold true for just any shade. There’s a particular shade of blue, used on reflectors on the side of the highway in the Northern Sierras (and probably many other places); that’s the specific color that is my favorite.

Yes, leaving off what is clearly the Best. Color. Ever. was a serious error.
We pink fans are pretty passionate about our preferred color. 🙂

Yellow! Yellow rules, and is far superior to all those other colours.

Is turquoise green or blue? It seems more of a blue to me but I am told it’s green.
I picked blue anyway because there are more shades of blue I love than green. Sky blue, sapphire blue, midnight blue, baby blue…

I picked indigo, but it depends really.
When it comes to coloring, nothing beats the depth of color you can get from bearing down with a Crayola brand cerulean crayon. When it comes to clothes, I prefer blacks and blues. I prefer my bedding to be in the darker or vibrant shades of green. Nothing pale or pastel.

Purple! Always has been and always will be.

I like dark blues and dark greens pretty much equally.
