What is your favorite color?

We came across this interesting tidbit regarding men and women and their color preferences. Did you know that blue wins as the favorite color of both men and women?

In a survey conducted 42 percent of people (35% of women and 57 percent of men) listed blue as their favorite color. Women's other favorite color was purple, which incidentally factored significantly on men's least favorite color list, right up there with brown and orange. Both brown and orange are the least favorite colors of everyone by the way.

In an interesting twist, all people tend to like more blue and less green as they get older. Green seems to be a young person's color.

Some say that our color preferences are a key to understanding our personalities. Every wonder what your favorite color says about your personality?

White: Symbolic of purity, innocence, and a desire for simplicity or the simple life
Red: the color of strength, health and vitality
Orange: the color of luxury and pleasure, youth, strength, and restlessness
Yellow: the color of happiness, wisdom and imagination
Green: the color of harmony and balance
Blue: soft, soothing, compassionate and caring
Purple: highly individual, fastidious, witty and sensitive
Brown: obstinate and inflexible, a person with stamina and patience
Gray: the color of caution and compromise
Black: dignified and impressive without being showy
