Blue has always been a favorite of mine, but purple has really grown on me lately. Naturally, I love bluish purples.

Once you figure out that purple doesn't actually exist it's even neater. Purple and magenta are colors your brain makes up when it sees red and blue light at the same time.

What is the velocity of an unladen swallow?

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Barn or tree swallow?

Iono, I would normally say a deep forest green, but I have recently been growing in appreciation of purple.

Very specifically, the fresh green you see on a forest hillside from a long way away just as the leaves start appearing in spring

The green of fir trees in the Pacific Northwest United States on a rainy day

Purple, it's the colour of royalty.

Azure Blue or Cyan. I can't really choose between the two.

Orange. My students used to ask me why, and I would tell them that I like bright colors, but red is a mad color - STOP sign, fire, angry emoji. Orange on the other hand is cheery, it’s a happy red!

In Mandalorian culture, Orange represents a lust for life.

...idk, that one guy kinda killed it for me.

Nope, nope, nope, he’s not taking it from me. It was my favorite color back when he was only bankrupting casinos…. and universities…. and alcohol… and steaks.
