Most of us have a favorite color. Favorite colors often come up as an icebreaker question, or as part of a standard "go around the circle and say something about yourself" thing. Most people's answers are fairly nonspecific, like "green", "blue", or "purple", but sometimes, it can be nice to think a bit more about the specifics. For example, you may like blue, but hate dark blue. Or you may like red, but just a specific shade of red, and none of the others are okay.

So, what is your favorite color, and why? Feel free to use images or hexcodes, though please do keep the Colour Guide in mind if you plan to color any text!

Generally speaking, my favorite color is a dark green. More specifically, it's dark olive drab, with the closest safe color code here probably being #447733. It is extremely aesthetically pleasing to me, as well as fitting my sense of practicality and paranoia, since it blends in well naturally.
 
I think for me, it really depends... I like dapple greys, bays, chestnuts, roans, palominos... I've decided I basically need a horse in each colour.

Yellow. Because it is sunny and bright and amazing and makes me happy!

I like aquamarine, blue, and sometimes magenta depending on what I'm using these colors for, of course.

Green! Any color green except lime.

ヽ(・∀・)ノ Waaah!! That's my favorite green! I usually just call it dark green, but that's technically wrong. I sort of like and dislike standard green but that specific green used to be my absolute primo special favorite.

Nowadays.... it's changed to this colour, basically.Though this might be closer, it's really a mix of those two.Basically Iwaku's Sloth theme colour.

I don't really understand it, but I used to attribute that green to my personality? But now I think of this type of blue? I dunno. I just like these very specific colour s. Oh, wait! My avatar's shirt, that's the right blue! Forgot I was wearing that for a sec....

It's hard to choose which is my favourite colour.

But for the last few years Pine Green feels nice to my eyes.

Red. Dark red. I use it for my Iwaku theme because I like it so much.

I love lilac and lavender, well actually, any purple shade except the neon ones that make your eyes bleed.

I don't have a favourite colour. However, for the longest time, it was grey.

In general, I tend to have a taste for pastels and earthy shades.

That is so difficult to answer!!

For the longest time my favourite colour was Cobalt Blue and the whole lower half of my bedroom walls (when I was a teenager) was painted that colour!

I love bright colours, and I can't say I have a favourite one.

My favorite favorite color is around this but I like most shades of red (I'm a little less keen on ones that bleed into pink, though). I also really like blues and greens like these two

I like blues like this blue. ★
And I like greens like this green. ★
And the red again, on a light background. ★

Basically dark jewel tones.

YES! THAT'S THE ONE! it's even called Pine Green, who'd've though.

Teal's also a favorite of mine.

#0a0d2b Reminds of the color of the night sky when the moon is out. Thus it reminds me of space and space is my happy place.
