_Who approacheth the Bridge of Death Must answer me these questions three Ere the other side he see_ All kidding aside, I’m simply inviting you to post your favorite color. (No Gorge of Eternal Peril involved.) Mine’s green. ---

I have 2: Royal Purple and Peacock Blue. My daughter claims her’s is Neon Black. I’m still waiting for an example of that one. ---

Mine is also Purple, but like Arden, I like the darker purple, never a pale, pastel shade (I don’t really like any pastel colours). ---

_ **CLEAR** _ I’m a sucker for all things in that Mac format. I’ve got clear phones and clear monitor and clear tape player and clear joystick and clear mouse and mouse pad. In school I loved my clear pencil box. ---

I love pink - bright pink, pale pink, medium pink, love them all. Some of my hair is pink, about 1/4 of my casual clothes are pink and exactly 1/2 of my formal dresses are pink. I also like red. But the two don’t look particularly good together. ☹ ---

orange! and Kayeby, for what it’s worth, i think that pink and red go GREAT together - most of the time when i get dressed, i wear different shades of the same color: pink and red, dark blue and light blue, lime green and grass green, etc. of course, most people wouldnt take dressing advice from me, but anyway… orange! ---

Grey. Particularly the grey of a good, hard-to-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face fog. I think, actually, that grey became my favorite colour because I used to love walking in the fog. ---

Green. Cool, soothing, reminds me of spring and summer (my favorite seasons - damn I hate the cold). ---

prussian blue, cadmium red, ochre. generally, I also have a preference to earth tones. I hate neons, and usually dislike pastels. ---

Purple. Any shade. I wear purple every day of my life. I own more purple underwear than anyone on the planet, and have a pair of lavendar suede work shoes. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-favourite-colour/61768.md?page=2)
