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?  ;)

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.

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

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. :)

Green: Medium Forest Green

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.
