My favorite color is blue. Always has. I used to like blue only, and other
colors not. But now I like red, if it's like "fire engine red" or "Chinese
red" (i guess vermillion). I dont particularly like yellow, but i dont
hate it. I also love dark dark greens. I do like emerald colors, or dark
green jade. Within blue, i tend to like the darker shades. Cobalt blue is
probably my most favorite shade of blue.

In clothing I tend to head towards the dark colors. For instance, my
brother likes Hawaiian style shirts. So do I, but if I get them, i will
head for the more somber tones and subdued colors. My twin likes the
bright colors. However, the flashiest shirts I have do have reds and
oranges, but for me, they have to have a background of a darker color, and
the bright colors can't dominate.

As for colors I dont particularly like, yellowish browns, and greens are
ugly. I have a shirt that is brown, but it's brown brown. We call the
yellow greens "Baby-shit green".
