Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I was reading some gender study on colors appealing to different genders and you can explain if you like this color in your home or to wear. You can specify if you have a particular shade of that color. For example I like army green, and not light green. You may pick 2. This for men only.

I like any shade of grey really, except for very dark grey (graphite).

I also like green, but a really specific shade I call "monster green". I can't even begin to describe it, I thought the concept was more known until I told my mom I wanted a Monster Green room and she was like "are you 4?"

I've always liked blue (a stereotype I know ;) ). I also like red because it looks on good on me; some pinks like magenta as I've accepted my more fem side and yellow because it's a happy colour.

Blue and black. Grey also.

I prefer muted colors as I don't like to stand out. Blue is relaxing to me.

So I see that you're taking back the boyhood you were deprived of. Nothing wrong with that. I'm starting to collect GI Joes, and action figures. When I was a kid I did have a lot of toy reptiles and insects and loved to read and learn about them and catch them to observe.

Did you mother push you to like and have girl things when you were a kid?

I hated ken's feminine clothing. GI Joe is better, but people bought me mostly girl's toys as a kid. I loved dinosaurs too and still do. You can recollect them as an adult if your living space allows it.

I like quite a lot of colors, depending on the shade but my two top faves are black and blue. I seem to use them way too much art-wise but I also wear those colors a lot. Black is easy because it goes well with everything and I suppose blue just suits me since I have quite stereotypical north European appearance. ::)

Baby blue and sea foam green....they're bright and nice colors.....

I like bright obnoxious versions of green. Since I'm an artist I actually do appreciate all colors in the right context. Especially when mixing complimentary, or bright colors with a neutral.

Purple has been my favorite color ever since I was a kid.  I think of it as a neutral color, since it's a combination of red and blue, but it's not as harsh as either.  I think it defines me, somewhere in the middle of warm/cool.

When it comes to a choice, I choose red (like when I got my 3DS; there wasn't a purple option, so I got red).

I don't really like to wear either color though; I don't think they look good on me.  I'll wear them if they're not the dominating color (like my sweatshirt is black with red trim).

I chose purple and green. I don't know why I love those colors but they are both beautiful and equally good.

I also like purple, but rarely wear it. It's too exuberant for my personality.

I love colours... my favourite colour group is blue. I like most shades. Bright, bold blues are the ones I like best but I wear a lot of navy.
I also love red.
Colour for me is context dependent. I like almost every colour in certain situations.

Yes. Context is everything with colour.

I forgot to say I wear just grey and black and white and muted greens and blues in public. At home I wear bright pajamas and tshirts in all colors. I do wear colorful hats out and about.

green was always my childhood color. every day at school i passed by a park. all the green trees soothe me.
then i realize it's also an army color which makes me like it even more.
growing up a little more, i learned to embrace red and get in touch with my passion a lot.

Red is too passionate for me. It's also too hard on my eyes.

Black and blue, the company colours of hourly employees everywhere!  :laugh:

Black and gray for me. I lean gothy and pretty much only wear black and the occasional charcoal. Also, though I do like other colors, colorful things are sort of visually overwhelming for me. A crisp black and white or black/gray/white color scheme is a lot easier to look at and more appealing.

Did I mention teal? Yeah I like teal. Bit dark to decorate my flat with it but I so would.

Gold and red. The colors are cool and looks good. :) It's so nice even the kings and emperor used them a lot.

So I see that you are a King, Sebby?  ;)

Gray & Black

Blue has always been my favorite color for really no reason. I remember getting mad when I was in elementary school because I always wanted blue things but I was told by multiple people I couldn't because it was a "boy's color." Funnily enough I turned out to be a boy.

Black is my favorite color and pretty much always has been. I hate being told that black isn't a color (it is; it's an achromatic color) or that I'm morbid.

I like red, too, maybe partly because it looks so great with black. But I cannot wear red because I have my father's complexion.

When I was a preteen, we moved back to our old house here in the States, and my mother told me I could do my bedroom any way I wanted. I chose red for the walls and black for the door and the closet. Needless to say, she was not amused. I knew that red walls would probably look overwhelming, so I could have lived with white walls and a red door and closet, but, noooo, she decided to override me and choose her own colors. The door and closet stayed white, and my walls were . . . ick . . . "Harvest Gold."

Thanks a lot, Mom. ::)

yooo i'm the one guy that picked pink

I picked black too, because I wear almost only black, with the exception of some blue denim, and pink because it's a colour I use a lot in my art, alongside pastel blues, turquoises, mints and yellows. I never wear pastels, but I like them. I don't really wear my favourite colours. I don't know why.

Do you eat those marshmallow peeps out of curiosity?

Nope, we don't actually call them peeps here. my UN is just a nonsense word cause i couldn't think of anything else

I'm American and I like them. The blue raspberry ones were awful though. I didn't have any at all this year.

I have always liked pink but I felt really ashamed so I hid that truth for a long time. I wanted to be associated with males not females. Then somebody told me that the color pink used to be associated with males because of strength. It's all stereotypical but it help me break out of those stereotypes and not only realize colors were just colors but learn to truly enjoy the color pink and be myself. I also like blue because it's a very calming color to me and helps my anxiety.

So those are the colors of the trans flag!

I love the design of the trans flag.

Yeah it used to be red (or orange, because there used to be just one word in english for orange and red... red) for masculine and blue for feminine, and pink is just lighter red that they used to put boys in. Boys also used to wear dresses until they were preteens... and the elizabethan male silhouette was almost as hourglass as the female one

my fav colors are purple and blue

I picked pink and red. But I like a few more: cerulean blue, black, gold and silver. Don't know why I like them all, I just do. A few years ago (before I realized I was trans) I told my cis-het fiance about pink originally being used for boys and blue being used for girls, but he didn't believe me.

I identify with the masculine end of non-binary, so I'm still voting. :P
I put green and blue as those have always been the top two of my favorite colors. I had an obsession with dark red for a while, similar to what Arch said, it looks good with black. Clothing wise I prefer and will always love black, but green and blue are still awesome. :)

Specifications of Colors:
Green: Medium Forest Green
Blue: Dark Cobalt Blue

I love the colour blue, really any shade but my favourite might be sky blue.

I always liked the pink and purple combination but grew to hate it because it was just 'too girly' and I grew to hate it, I eventually took a liking to a magenta-pink (not light pink) combined with black, because it looked cool. I still like really dark purple, but as a separate color on it's own (or with black, black looks amazing combined with everything).

colors are arbitrary and don't define a gender but I'm already quite gayish so liking pink is rather fitting :P

I had this same experience. I just got rid of everything I owned that was pink to free myself from my former feminity. I spray painted pink furniture either gray or blue.
