Black and Orange are my favourites, but I guess black counts as a shade technically, so I'll pick orange from the list.

Isn't black technically not a colour?

And so the great dance begins once more...

Black is the absence of light. With no light there is no colour. However the paint black is a colour. It is not black anyway. Nothing is. White is not a colour either. It is pure light which has not been not split. Whatever a surface absorbs by white light shows what colur it is by the part of the spectrum reflected.

How dare you.

My friend used to be colorblind but he did too many drugs and now he sees color. I mean, he is not as smart as he used to be either.

If I had to pretend I had a favorite color I choose blue.

I like the colour of the 10 years old Ardbeg in a colourless snifter. But OTOH I like its smell and taste even more.

Green's my favorite color. I'm very hopeful it will win. I want it to win. I need it to win. If it does not win, beware the color that does.

I think the fact that my favorite color is not on the list makes me more progressive...

I alternate between blue and green, but it's usually blue.
