#…hence why my oc with a lilac color palette is called Violet :)

What is your fav color and why?

Thinking about colors this morning and wondering how other people feel about their favorite colors.

Is it because something about seeing the color or surrounding yourself with that color makes you feel good? Is it because the color reminds you of something you love? Is it because most things with that color are things with positive connotations to you?

Ohhh that sounds pretty cool!

Um, Let’s see. This is gonna sound very weird and incredibly specific (because it is): Magenta that is slightly tilting to red but still very bright, and the specific shade of blue you get from the ink of those ink pens used in school when it’s not dried yet. Like this really deep and rich blue that’s almost glowing when you hold the paper it’s on against the sun and rays of light shine through it. THAT blue.

(Fun fact: blue is the most common favorite color actually! Years ago read or heard it might be because the sky is blue so people have a innate tolerance/fondness to not get sick of seeing it all the time.)

Genuinely couldn’t tell you why, though. Well for the blue it’s probably being fascinated by that effect with the paper. Used to do that a lot in school lol. But no clue bout the Magenta, other than that I used to like pink before that, but just…like looking at this one more?

In both cases, I can also just. "Get lost“ staring at the color better, for some reason. Aside from that they make for a really pretty combo imo.

Can tell you I‘ve got a complicated relationship with the color purple though! Due to connections to other very complicated connotations, as well. (…I‘m aware of my blog theme and pfp XD but that’s a different shade so it’s fine!)
