For odd reasons I like a very specific shade of green (around 525nm, I'd call it "emerald") - it shows a lot of promise in reducing migraine headaches. It's an example of what's called photobiomodulation, which is a technical term for using low-energy infrared/visible light to signal your body to do certain things (as opposed to harmful high-energy radiation like UV rays). Being in green spaces can also help people's mental health and that's still being investigated.
Another example is using red light therapy to help wounds heal faster and improve skin quality. Red or infrared light exposure for therapeutic reasons was investigated by NASA and adopted by the US Navy.
So it's probably different reasons than you were expecting in a longer answer, but I love those colors because they heal people :)
Neeeeeerd
Thank you!
I asked for your favourite colour which you delivered and I learned something new, so I can't complain.
Jeans
I would have been disappointed in this place if someone didn't say jeans.
I aim to satisfy
Stroganoff, I like earth tones.
As long as it's legume
Octarine
Tell me you love Discworld without saying you love Discworld.

All the people providing very specific and complex answers and meanwhile I'm over here like
Ultraviolet. It makes other colors look cool. And it kills stuff.
Your favorite color is one you can’t even see? That’s pretty badass, ngl.
Purple.
Well the thing about that is, well, what is color? Is it, as Sam Harris would say, the way light reflects off an object and reacts in the eye, or is it something more? Y'know Carl Jung put forth that color represent- ed more than a spectrum of light but a representation of one's inner character, roughly speaking. So is it enough to have a favorite color, or should the right question be "what is the color that best represents your personality?" Your big five personality more specifically. When people ask me this question, as they inevitably do, I can't help but think "you absolute son of a bitch". To think that our desire for simple answers can lead us to be so arrogrant is absurd. Just look at the Bible for God's sake. In the Bible, I can't remember exactly where at the moment, it is said that the heavens are as a paved work of sapphire stone. So Heaven is seen as blue, as it's often thought of to be in the sky as well. I mean obviously! So maybe the answer should be blue, not just for me but for all of us. Because Heaven is when the balance of chaos and order are set in perfect order. That's the idea. But then why do we use blue as a metaphor for sadness? Well that brings up another interesting point that Foucault struggled with. He said that...
This feels like a typical Quora response
Orange. Pure orange, yellow orange, neon, burnt. Not so much red-orange, but I do love oranges that have a bit of a pink sheen, like padparadscha sapphires.
You're like my mum, she absolutely loves orange!

Deep royal purple
Think Joker’s suit in the Arkham games
Cyan. Not just blue but cyan. Slightly neon, not sky blue pastel.
Especially if paired with black, it pops.
For me, it's azure blue, the color between cyan and blue. It''s just poppier than blue blue especially when combined with black and white.

I only see in the radio spectrum, but 1420 MHz is quite tranquil.
Hot pink because it is girly, yet aggressive.
Pink, and it sucks that everything pink is more expensive. Specifically, I like pastel pinks, like baby pink.
you're not alone, hence the cost
As a neon pink fan I wish there was less pastel pink
Specifically hex B5A9FC
My fav is hex B5A9FD
you're beneath me
Orange. And when my students would ask why, I would tell them that it’s a bright color like red, but red is an angry color - stop, fire, mad emoji. Orange is a happy red!
Yellow is a happy orange!
Yellow! I used to hate it but after I started playing Splatoon it really grew on me and now it is my preferred color of choice
Non-blue grey. A lot of greys will have a blue tint. I like grey that doesn't have that blue tint. I like it because it's a neutral color that's easy to match bright colors to, but it doesn't feel dated like beige. If I had to pick a specific shade, I'd pick 50% grey, but I like a lot of greys.
I like dark blue and purple equally.
I don't have a favorite color. I guess I have a preference for certain colors in certain places, but I like them all.
Dark green, mustard yellow, purple and whatever this is called:
And colors that give me nostalgia like traffic light yellow or a specific shade of light blue.
That looks similar to the Disney go away green, which is an interesting colour to look into.
White, because it can be "Any colour you like"
Brown.
It’s coffee, it’s meat, it’s wood, it’s orange, but darker.
Dark purple hands down.
Black. It's easy on eyes
If we are allowed shades, then black, if not then probably green or red.
640,000GHz is nice
That super intense blue of LED indicator lights
Beans (dark mode)
Dark Teal
Pastel ones or neon bright ones. There's no in-between.
Beige and amber; and more in general warmer colors since lights in the ones tending to blue look blurry to me unless i'm very close to the source of the light.
Silver
I have a ton of favorite colors. I'll list a few:
#F1C400— Marigold
#2A52BE— Cerulean
#6CC3BE— the color of a plant in my frog tankI can't choose so I try and find things that have the entire rainbow.
Yellow. Sunburst yellow or Saab's Monte Carlo yellow.
pink :3
Is gray a color? I like the dark ones that are nearly purple
Pink
