I like dark blue and purple equally.

For odd reasons, I think I like a very specific shade of green (around 525nm) because it shows a lot of promise in reducing migraine headaches in severity, frequency, and duration. It’s an example of what’s called photobiomodulation, which is a technical term for using non-ionizing infrared/visible light to signal your body to do certain things (ionizing radiation is the damaging stuff that has more energy, like UV rays).

Another example is using red light therapy to help wounds heal faster and improve skin quality. Red or infrared light exposure for therapeutic reasons was investigated by NASA and adopted by the US Navy.

So it’s probably not the reasons you were looking for, but I love those colors because they heal people :)

Jeans

Dark green, mustard yellow, purple and whatever this is called:

And colors that give me nostalgia like traffic light yellow or a specific shade of light blue.

Orange. Pure orange, yellow orange, neon, burnt. Not so much red-orange, but I do love oranges that have a bit of a pink sheen, like padparadscha sapphires.

Purple.

I don’t have a favorite color. I guess I have a preference for certain colors in certain places, but I like them all.

Yellow! I used to hate it but after I started playing Splatoon it really grew on me and now it is my preferred color of choice

Ultraviolet. It makes other colors look cool. And it kills stuff.

Octarine

Purple.

Beige and amber.

All the people providing very specific and complex answers and meanwhile I’m over here like

Dark Teal

Brown.

It’s coffee, it’s meat, it’s wood, it’s orange, but darker.

If we are allowed shades, then black, if not then probably green or red.

Hot pink because it is girly, yet aggressive.

Black. It’s easy on eyes

Silver

Orange. And when my students would ask why, I would tell them that it’s a bright color like red, but red is an angry color - stop, fire, mad emoji. Orange is a happy red!

Beans

Cyan. Not just blue but cyan. Slightly neon, not sky blue pastel.

Especially if paired with black, it pops.

Non-blue grey. A lot of greys will have a blue tint. I like grey that doesn’t have that blue tint. I like it because it’s a neutral color that’s easy to match bright colors to, but it doesn’t feel dated like beige. If I had to pick a specific shade, I’d pick 50% grey, but I like a lot of greys.

Pink, and it sucks that everything pink is more expensive. Specifically, I like pastel pinks, like baby pink.

I only see in the radio spectrum, but 1420 MHz is quite tranquil.

Well the thing about that is, well, what is color? Is it, as Sam Harris would say, the way light reflects off an object and reacts in the eye, or is it something more? Y’know Carl Jung put forth that color represent- ed more than a spectrum of light but a representation of one’s inner character, roughly speaking. So is it enough to have a favorite color, or should the right question be “what is the color that best represents your personality?” Your big five personality more specifically. When people ask me this question, as they inevitably do, I can’t help but think “you absolute son of a bitch”. To think that our desire for simple answers can lead us to be so arrogrant is absurd. Just look at the Bible for God’s sake. In the Bible, I can’t remember exactly where at the moment, it is said that the heavens are as a paved work of sapphire stone. So Heaven is seen as blue, as it’s often thought of to be in the sky as well. I mean obviously! So maybe the answer should be blue, not just for me but for all of us. Because Heaven is when the balance of chaos and order are set in perfect order. That’s the idea. But then why do we use blue as a metaphor for sadness? Well that brings up another interesting point that Foucault struggled with. He said that…
