My favorite colour is White. It is a symbol of peace. In our Indian national flag, we have it in the middle. Perhaps, It promotes friendliness and peace,harmony. So, it is my favourite colour.

My favourite one is Blue. Blue is said to be the color of truth, calmness, serenity and harmony within the self. It's clean and attractive too and can be used for various purposes. I specially like it to write some texts. If you are stressed and feeling worn out with the process of everyday living, then blue is the colour you need, in moderation.

All colors give out vibrations on different frequencies. Blue uses a cool frequency, so it is calming and cooling. It's perfect for hypertension and general stress. So, Blue is my favourite one.

I like the color green. Firstly, I like the color green because it is very pleasing to the eyes. Aside from that it also represents nature but most importantly, it represents life. Eating greens or veggies is highly recommended for a healthy lifestyle too. Going green and planting trees is also a good way to offset pollution especially now with the threat of global warming.

The color green also represents money - the green buck! I know that most people like that idea. Oh and one more thing, the color green also represents the go signal like the green traffic light. Getting the go signal is also very important especially if you're proposing to your beloved or waiting for an opportunity of a lifetime. :)

I love Colour - Red. Let me point out why I like it than rest.

1. The color red is one of the primary colors and is thought to be the color to provoke the most reponse among humans.

2. This intense color is also known to induce emotions from passion to violence.

3. Experiments have shown that rooms painted red will encourage workers to work faster and restaurants, causing an increase in appetite. So Red helps in increasing working capacity.

4. Red is a symbol of high energy and aggression.

5. Many traffic signs use the color red because it's the most visible color in daylight.

6. (Romance) Red and it's many shades of color are also used as a symbol of love. Hot reds to pale pinks can be found in many romantic greeting cards and are used in the symbol of the heart.

7. The color red is often used to draw attention making items appear stronger, brighter and heavier. If using the color red on a webpage, it's best to use it as an accent color to ring attention to specific links or words on the page.

8. Using the color red wisely on your website can be a huge benefit.

9. A study has shown that when two sports teams are equally matched, the team dressed in red is more likely to win. And I believe this too.

So, Red is my perfect choice.

Congratulations DEADMAN. I would have thought that your favorite color would have been black because you're supposed to be DEAD. :)

[DEADMAN]

Thank you for the offer. Also, thank you everybody for the congratulation. And by the way Nazreen black is too my favorite colour but I prefer red than it because in DEADMAN there is no blood which we seek for to be alive. Whereas, black is darkness where we like to live in. :)

I don't mean to be a sore loser but DEADMAN is not being fair to the rest of the BAF community. He just copied and pasted his reply from http://www.colorcombos.com/color-red-article.html.


The Color Red Is The Best Choice When You Want Attention

The color red is one of three primary colors and is thought to be the color to provoke the most reponse among humans. Red is considered a warm color along with orange and yellow. This intense color is also known to induce emotions from passion to violence. Experiments have shown that rooms painted red will encourage workers to work faster. Along with the faster work came more mistakes, making red not the best option for wall paint in a work environment. Red used on walls has been found to be a great benefit in restaraunts, causing an increase in appetite.

Red is a symbol of high energy and aggression. It's often used in warning or danger signs. This is because the color red stands out against backgrounds of white or black.
