To people whose favorite color is green, do you like or dislike blue? Is it your second favorite color?

I like blue and silver, separately and together. I also like Tye-dye.

Yes! And it’s a warm, cheery, happy color.

Yes, I’d say turquoise is blue. Greenish blue. I call blueish green teal.
Poor lonely orange. It’s my third-favorite color…

Scrambled Eggs yellow.
“Yellow” is also my favorite flavor.

Mine is purple, so I picked indigo and violet, as this is somwhere in between.

Orange is pretty low on the list, but it is being proclaimed the “in” color this year by those who proclaim such things. I do love peach and apricot but orange makes me nervous, and red sends me fleeing for my life…Give me sky blue, the color of the sky on a sunny October day. There is nothing more uplifting! Second choice, a spring-y green.

Anything except taupe or black.

I find it odd that the favorites here do not correspond with the most popular colors for personal automobiles. If I recall correctly, the top three have been silver, black and white since the Eighties with each taking the top spot at some point. Green is always at the bottom of the pile but ranks highly here.

I’d be happy to buy a green car. But you won’t find any on the lots.
It’s a tautology. Dealers don’t sell green cars because buyers don’t buy them. And buyers don’t buy green cars because dealers don’t sell them.

I picked blue.
However, it really depends on what you are talking about.
I hate blue walls in rooms, and am not a fan of blue shoes.
But I do like blue jeans and any color of blue shirts and have an aqua-marine 94 Saturn and love the color of that car.

Red is my favourite colour. It may not be the one I wear the most (black), or the colour of my car(white), or anything, but it is the colour I like best. Green and orange are close behind, though.
OTOH, I have no favorite color.

I am a Purple Person, so I picked violet.
