This is a thread everyone should be able to reply to… Mine is blue. A nice dark shade of blue, probably something like the blue in the “THE STRAIGHT DOPE” banner across the top of the screen, maybe a little lighter though. I also like sky blue. It’s peaceful. And I don’t want this thread to fall like a rock just like all my other threads! ---
