People actually have favorite colors and stuff like that? What makes a color become one's favorite?
Yeah, generally it's whatever they enjoy the most. Some people have multiple favorites, others only have one. Some people have context-sensitive favorites (e.g. "my favorite color is purple, except I also like cyan on dark backgrounds, turquoise on accent tiles, and if it's on a British sports car, British racing green"), others just have all-time favorites. That said, I do find it kinda weird when someone only has a single favorite thing, but humans are strange I guess.
It might be my adhd+aphantasia brain but I don't get the idea of enjoying a color.
I have aphantasia and I love so many colors! I love looking at them, the more so because I can't remember them later. But every time I look at, for example, a bright yellow, it's like experiencing the wonder of it for the first time again and it's mesmerizing. Sometimes I have a hard time trying not to stare at certain colors I see. I might be broken.
What culture are you from where having favorite colors is foreign? Genuinely asking, because favorite colors are a huge part of identity and self expression in the US.
Favourite colours are a thing, yes. But it's not really talked about past the age of 12-14, in my experience.
