Mine was blue until mid-2010's.

Not completely sure why, but it's now purple as well. It's such a pleasing colour.

Prior to that, I have fond memories of painting all my cars in Saints Row 2 purple and white.

[–] lwuy9v5@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

and there's so many DIFFERENT purples! Lavender, fuchsia!

[–] FlashZordon@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Orange. I like the warmth of it.

[–] Zedi0us@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Green, so many shades and hues. The colour of forests, grass hills, antifreeze... Calming, vibrant, sweet.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Pink, because it's a beautiful colour, and the fact that it triggers "manly men" 🤘 I'm male, btw. Today I have pink socks with cats on them 🐱

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Teal, it has the best qualities of both blue and green

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Blue. I think it's objectively the best, most beautiful color. Not sure what more I can say...

[–] jockets@feddit.org 8 points 4 months ago

Green, it's the color of nature.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

Green its the essence of life

[–] Thebular@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I can't imagine a lot of folks are going to agree with me on this, but a nice warm brown is so cozy. Think like the color of Hershey's chocolate (actually, maybe think of a better chocolate).

It's the color of chocolate, coffee, big cozy leather armchairs in old oak libraries, a nice well seared steak... What's not to like?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

None of those things are liked because of their color, tho ;)

[–] Thebular@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough, but it's a decent reason to like the color I think :)

Are circus stripes a color?

  • Black and white
  • Black and orange
  • Black
  • Red, specifically a nice crimson red
  • Deep purple
[–] notnotmike@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

White.

I think because when I was young I associated it with angels and purity and I wanted to be a good person.

Now I just think it looks crisp and clean and it's always been "my" color in games

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Teal and turquoise, I think because it evokes imagery of my very early childhood where I'd be on vacation and swimming in seas that looked like shimmering gems, with water so clear that it looks as though you're flying. Fun little fact, I've never had to be trained on how to swim, I just instinctually have been able to do so for as long as me and my parents can remember.

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Hamlidingo Blue, it has cool name.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

#702880, it's a beautiful color and a mix of blue and pink. But I use orange/yellow as the theme color for my OSs as it's a warm color

[–] Toes@ani.social 3 points 4 months ago

Hot pink, it looks really nice when contrasted on black.

[–] sga@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

used to be blue (royal blue then sky blue) and now black (i am not a edgy teen, an adult) but still like sky blue

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Turquoise because it invokes an escapist feeling.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 4 months ago
[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

My favorite color's name is Roy G. Biv.

Because I can't settle on just one.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Blue and purple
That blue and purpleish color combined looks really nice

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Blue and black because I think I look better in those colors compared to other colors.

[–] rain_worl@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

yeah, i like white and gold too

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

Turquoise because it feels unique!

[–] Tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Purple, spite.

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Brown. I like the way it looks.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 months ago

Chartreuse, because:

  • Fun to spell

  • It's my mom's favorite color

  • Easily recognizable
