I don’t know about anyone else, but a description that fits me less would be hard to find. My favorite colour is of course, **Purple**. Yet that says: PURPLE: Lovers of purple frequently consider themselves to be too sophisticated for a fun romp in the sack. Women sometimes are the type who hate to mess their hair. Men are business-like in their approach to lovemaking. In both sexes purple partners are more concerned with their fulfillment than anyone else’s gratification. What in the world are they talking about? And _ **WHO** _? Certainly not me! 😕 Reading the other ones, Green, Brown, Blue and Red mostly fit me, but not all of any of them. Whatever. ---

Well, yax is the Mayan word for both green and blue. I guess that I can’t complain. ---

Well, I was going to say green, but I’ll go with blue. ---

This is the most laughably inaccurate thing I’ve ever heard. I thought things like this were generally geared so that, no matter which option you choose, the answer “describes you perfectly.” ---

BLUE: Lovers of blue are wonderful sex partners. They are sinners, affectionate and sensitive to their partner’s needs. They consider love making a fine art and their approach is elegant. Women in the blue category enjoy sex to the fullest. They are exciting partners but their passion may be compared to a tidal wave rather than fiery aggression. Both women and men enjoy foreplay and the aftermath of lovemaking, as much as the sex act itself. In marriage a blue person is a wonderful mate – never seeking outside interests.

My favorite color is light green. How do you make love “like a virgin”? With the Madonna song on in the background? Virgins don’t make love differently do they? I wouldn’t know; never been with one. But green’s aren’t always faithful. ---

Not really sure where you might need to look or not look as the case may be. And of course since I am a blue no cheating here, but for future reference you know, just in case, are you telling us you are a blue and would indeed be a match for a certain Trkr? 😉 Trkr ---

My favorite color is blue, and it fits. And I know SouthernStyle said it already, but I’m in total agreement: My favorite things are pink 🙂 ---

Like **KimKatt** , I worked it in reverse: from the descriptions, I figured out what my favorite color(s) ‘ought’ to be. I came up with the same colors :o but if I had a favorite color, it wouldn’t be either of those. ---

Don’t know about it being my favorite color, but most of my clothes and things are blue. And Grey. No idea how to interpret that according to the site. I thought I just liked those colors because they match my eyes. Who knew?
