Saucy! So, kids, what's your favorite color? Mine's rabbit-nose pink. Happy hour elephant pink is nice, too.

I don't have one. Is that wierd?
Maybe it's just the lack of ability to make a decision. I don't know...

Squant, of course.

When I was little, I used to always say that my favorite color was rainbow. I realize now that that is a cop-out. Still, I'm with puddinghead.

I just did my first MetaChat post. I hope I haven't just alienated myself from MetaTalk AND MetaChat. :o/

Shit- I meant weird. But you knew that.

Can a choose a color-cycling TrueColor RGB pixel as my favorite color?

Sauce!

Hmm...I don't think I have an absolute favorite, but I really like lavender and green, although sometimes I lean towards pink.

Is it almost time for the "what 5 things would you bring with you if you were going to be stranded on a deserted island?" question?

I'm also anxious for someone to start the "what 5 people, dead or alive, would you invite to make up the ultimate dinner party?" ;)

My favourite colour used to be silver. I was often told that silver wasn't actually a colour, but I'd just point to the experts in response: "well, it is according to Crayola." My favourite changed for a little while before settling on a tie between orange and lime green, but now I think it's red.

Wait, would some of them be dead and others alive? Because I would NOT include Jeffrey Dahmer in the first instance.

Anyone who says "rainbow isn't a color" obviously hasn't played Robotron 2084, or hasn't seen a Sauce Lightwand (or other Color Kinetix RGB light) in action.

BROWN! Even my bedroom walls are brown. I'm not talking some puny brown; I'm talking sincere shit brown.

If I had to pick five colors to a dinner party, and only five mind you, it would have to consist of the following:

Hazard orange
Dark brown
Verdant green
Maroon
Royal blue

Green. Nearly all shades of green. I once had the huge multi-pack of crayons (the one with the built-in sharpener) and it had the most marvelous shade of sea green. It made me thirsty to look at it.

British racing green. Just to be pretentious.

Blues and greens.

Actually, the only reason I wanted to comment was to mention that I was horribly traumatized by the pink elephants in Dumbo when I was younger. (Okay, fine, it was last week.)
posted by strikhedonia 15 June | 02:04
Aegean blue, pumpkin, maize, and violet. (You can eat most of my favorite colors! Coincidence? I think not!)

But I gotta say, "happy hour elephant pink" is definitely my new favorite color name. So, in honor of Melissa May, I'll throw "poltroon yellow" into the ring.

Spitoon Brown, and I really liked the Pink Elephants in Dumbo.
posted by Schyler523 15 June | 02:22
Green & pink.
posted by Chimp 15 June | 04:18
Any kind of chlorophyll green, or sea blue.
posted by misteraitch 15 June | 07:43
Red.

I love all colors too, and staring at the right painting or scene, I can start to think another color is top, but in the end, red's really where my heart is - that perfect deep-bright solid red, not too orange, not too maroon.

Sea green.
posted by Tarrama 15 June | 11:23
Numbero uno is pale pink (always has been).

Runner-ups in order:
- pale silvery green
- rusty red
- chocolate brown
- white

Mardi Gras green and purple (not gold tho).

Orange is the New Wendell, although I enjoy most varieties of Green (Grass, Sea, Lime, Apple, Avocado, even Army, but not Puke).

Rich blues and greens. Rich I tell you!

Word x2. And all the reds, from palest pink to deepest wine. Love love love them.

(taz, take all my pink elephants, darling and do with them what you will.)
