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

Magenta is like a darker pink. Cyan is like a bright blue-green, that is if we are talking about #00FFFF.

I find soft blues and soft greens soothing, but I also like a nice peachy color.

 

[Thunderbringer]

Blue!!

I also used to love yellow and purple a lot, but I don't care for them as much now.

 

[miss fortune]

bright colors and black and white???

I don't really like earth tones or pastels and I'm not a huge fan of yellow and orange, but that's probably because I look hideous in those colors

most of my wardrobe is mostly the colors black, white, blue, green, pink and some reddish purple color that's about the color of a cab as opposed to a petite syrah...

 

[skylights]

soft periwinkle

aqua

lush green

navy blue

pure white

tangerine

moroccan red

chocolate brown

i guess that's more than one.
oh well.

Red, especially burgundy or wine red. I don't like the orangey reds. I also like black, kelly green, and orange.

I find it interesting that so many people incorporate the colors in their wardrobe into the topic of their favorite colors. It's a much more abstract question to me...it wouldn't occur to me to combine those thoughts. For instance, I don't own any kelly green clothing and the only orange I wear is in a college sweatshirt. I prefer to wear more neutral colors like black, navy and khaki, but that doesn't mean that I "like" those colors.

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.

Ahh... That is a rather long list. Goodness, do you go through all those for design work? Rather saddening. I suppose yes, design work requires slightly more detailed usage of more specified colour names.

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

Ah there is another similar chart for that. I suppose all those strange colour name codings are rather troublesome to go by. And getting too detailed with colours can seem rather picky.

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

I suppose many would just call cyan, light blue. Technicalities in colours tend not to be important to many.

The color wheel.
Primary colors: Red, Blue, Yellow
Secondary colors: Orange, Green, Purple
After that, the list goes on. Primary colors Red-Blue-Yellow being able to make practically all colors (And white being an "absence" of color and black being all colors when it comes to coloring.) All you really need is Red-Blue-Yellow-Black-White to make any color or hue of that color.

Red-Green-Blue being computer generated colors to make other colors.

Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black being printer colors to generate other colors.

------------------------------
And yes, it is annoying having to differentiate Cayenne from Cyan when you can just tell me dark red or light blue-green (though I already know Cyan is around that color range.) Though having to choose a specific color is a must I suppose... sort of like painting a certain color because how I see navy blue is like about this color

Magenta is like a darker pink. Cyan is like a bright blue-green, that is if we are talking about #00FFFF.

Well, pure magenta is #FF00FF, the color equidistant between red and blue. Pink is a name for high luminance/light tint red.

I suppose many would just call cyan, light blue. Technicalities in colours tend not to be important to many.

What's interesting is how there's no real consistency in what gets a name and what doesn't. Cyan is just as different from blue as magenta is. Cyan is substantially more different from blue than purple is. Why do we distinguish some colors and not others?

I love that sunset-reddish glow over grassy lawns, birch trees and asphalt that is utterly impossible to capture in a picture.
Over here in northern Sweden we have, as you might know, sunlight almost 24 hours a day.
It does go below the horizon where I live, but it's never dark during the summer months. There's something special about all that time it spends hanging fairly low in the sky.
It makes stuff glow in a way they just don't with ordinary sunlight.
Everything is more beautiful, greener, richer. You might know what color I mean.

 

[IZthe411]

Primarily lighters blues, but I like Green (Like apple martini green) and Canary Yellow.

I got darker skin so I wear different shades well.

 

[copperfish17]

I don't really have one favorite color, but if I had to choose... blue-gray. Grayish blue? Color of twilight.
