Yellow. I can't really justify why I like it so much. It's been my favourite colour since I first learnt the colours.

I'm going to nitpick and be the asshole that points out that black isn't a color. :laugh: A black object absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum and reflects none of them to the eyes. Black is not a color, it is the absence of color. :p

So with that in mind, I'm going to say pink. The majority of my wardrobe/room decoration/etc is a combination of black and pink. I tend to prefer mixing neutral shades with a single bright color, keeping things monochromatic. And I have a pink highlight in my hair.

Purple for gheys. Electric purple is my favorite shade.

My skin tone can't really pull off purple so I tend to stick to neutrals and earthy tones. After purple is definitely brown.

"There are many color perceptions that by definition cannot be pure spectral colors due to desaturation or because they are purples (mixtures of red and violet light, from opposite ends of the spectrum). Some examples of necessarily non-spectral colors are the achromatic colors (black, gray and white) and colors such as pink, tan, and magenta."

It surely depends on the definition of color whether black is a color, Professor Panda.

Pink still an extraspectral color. Your eye is just detecting 2 different wavelengths of light at the same time, instead of just 1 wavelength. Black doesn't involve your eye detecting any wavelengths of light, Dr. Nico. :)

I'm totally changing my user title to Professor Panda.

I am and was aware of that. Apparently it did not stop me from including black in the realm of colors.

I am expecting the royalties.

LOL. Yeah I've seen that before. Its not just because I'm a girl - I've done some design work and 'blue', 'yellow', 'red' etc just doesn't cut it.

Actually you should check out this for an epic colour list. Some of the names are rather amusing. :D

You forgot light blue, dark blue, light red, dark red, light green, dark green. etc. Like how Cayenne is such a dark red.... I just call it a dark red and how banana is such a light yellow... I just call it light yellow.

Other than that,
Dark Red (based on that color scheme cayenne)>Dark Green>Navy Blue.

But I sort of work with colors also... so the in-between colors... I tend to call such colors around teal like blue-green.....

Yea, I don't have hundreds of names for colors, but I can at least say that a color is blue-green :D

Black. There is no deeper reason behind this. I like the way it looks, and I had a voracious appetite for black crayons as a child. It is the color I prefer to wear.

Next to that would be green, but like an earth tone. No bright greens.


If you call cyan blue and magenta purple, you're a fucking troglodyte.
