Any clues as to why yellow was "reserved to the girls"? If it's something
like red or pink, I'd understand, as that's basically a traditional thing;
but yellow? I mean, I always thought yellow was like for royalty or
something, nothing feminine about it. (Although my personal reason for
liking yellow is 'cos it feels "lush", whatever that means.)

And yeah, my color tastes have changed slightly... I still like yellow,
though not as obssessively as before :-) but now I also like shades of
green. But light green or bright green still doesn't appeal to me
though... I still prefer the darker shades of green, preferably with some
blue mixed in... ;-) but I HATE anything brown. Green with a little brown
mixed in is just disgusting to me; I tend to think of them as "dirty
greens", but that's just me. :-)
