Being an artist I don't really have a favorite color but I do lean more toward blue, red and green. What is your's?

Practicing making polls, Steve?

Thought you'd like that, Harry.

Actually I've been wondering about everyone's favorite color for some time now.

Emerald green. Emerald jewelry, especially.

Rust red.

Sapphire Blue: a very bright shade of blue.

Violet here. The color of royalty.

Does that tell you anything about a person's psychology?

Are you talking to me, Kat? If you are I'm not much in psychology. Just curious to know what colors we like. I like Winsor & Newton's colors. They have full saturation. I love their Ultramarine Blue, Winsor Green and their Crimson and other reds. They are to die for. I also love black and white, the contrast between the two. I paint pictures in values of gray starting in very high-minor key and then apply the colors in transparent layers until I get down into extreme low-major key. I love contrast and colors.

I found a couple of color psychology web sites that are an interesting and fun read...

And, if you want to know what your car color says about you: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0932396.html

Cobalt blue, blue denim, turquoise, emerald green, royal purple, chocolate brown, and black. This is true especially for clothing.

In the home, I always like a blue-and-white kitchen. I think this the cultural influence of Portuguese tiles. See: http://www.golisbon.com/culture/azulejos.html

I tend to like my living areas to have creams and beige tones. I live in an old apartment that has antiqued walnut stained wood about 4 feet up around the rooms as well as base-boards in other rooms of this color. I have my walls and ceiling currently painted Montgomery white which has a creamy pale yellow tone. The carpeting is a tweeded brown and white. I find this kind of color scheme very calming and relaxing.

My favorite colors are emerald green, hunter green, plum, and burgundy. But if pressed to pick one color I went with green in general.

I love all shades of purple. That's a combo of blue & red, which explains why I like blues & pinks/burgundies as well.

Being an artist also, I having a very difficult time picking just one color! I went with yellow, but no crayon yellow for me, more of a golden yellow to yellow ochre.

'Most any a shade of blue will do,
'Most any shade for me:
From the lightest blue of the summersday
To the darkest blues of the Sea.

Just now, I have a thing for orange. I also like all shades of purple, as well as blue. I like all colors, really.
