[Polly Hennessey]

1. Aqua is pretty. Mine are yellow and green.

[debm55]

9. Very nice color combination

[applegrove]

2. It was yellow when I was younger. Now it is light green. My favourite

combination is green and turquoise.

[debm55]

10. Light green is very nice.

[applegrove]

17. Green is a relaxing colour. Yellow is anxiety causing.

[electric_blue68]

32. Awww, for me fully saturated yellow is invigorating

[applegrove]

34. That too.

[claudette]

3. Red

[debm55]

11. Red is smashing

[claudette]

26. Yep

My entire kitchen is splashed with red accessories! It cheers up the ambience. I read once that Chinese restaurants are furnished in red to increase the appetite!! Not sure if that’s true, though. 😉

[beemerphill]

47. Agree

There is no such thing as too much red.

[Meadowoak]

4. Black

[debm55]

13. I make alot of my jewelry in colbalt blue bright happy color

[ailsagirl]

29. Love cobalt-- love the photo of the donkeys, too

[electric_blue68]

33. Colbalt blue is a beautiful color.

[yellowdogintexas]

48. that's my favorite too!!! I've been noticing it's making a comeback as a car color

All the cars I have ever had were either white or various shades of grey. I am so bored!
Currently car hunting, and would love to find that blue or a nice red.

[catbyte]

6. Shades of teal, depending on my mood.

I find the color very peaceful and calming.

[pandr32]

8. I find aqua and teal to sometimes interchange.

I get confused.

[electric_blue68]

30. A strong aqua (I've seen photos of pale to vivid acquamarine crystals) is close to turquoise, while teal...

has some more green in it. But it's a lighter to mid range color - notforrest green.

As a trained fine & commercial artist here's my opinion; using a stantard colorwheel & box you fine on digital art etc apps. I think it'd be easier w paint chips bc our eyes receive light through a screen differently. Obviously we can't do that. 😄

In the first box the top is a pure what i consider turquoise, it also is close to "printer's Cyan" a blue green, one of the three colors plus black that make up the majority of 4 color (or full) color printing.
Below it is a shaded version (slide the full saturated color picker downward).

The next one is what I consider teal. Somewhat subtle difference. On the colorwheel sliders (red/green/blue) where you adjust any, one, two, or all 3 to get 100,000's or more colors - the green slider is about 3x's more than the blue.
I then took the shaded cyan and added it to the bottom half of box #2.

Finally just for contrast box #3 is what I'd consider close to a grass green.

Anyway I'm going to see if I can grab a color wheel for digital art for you to see.

Ah, ha!
Happy to answer questions about the above in case you have any. 👍

[pandr32]

36. Thank you, and I like that aqua.

[electric_blue68]

42. YW 👍

[debm55]

14. Oh I love the color panel--beautiful

[electric_blue68]

35. Lovely. It is very peaceful. For me the peacefulness usually restores my energy later on.

7. "Plaid," said the politician..... nt

[debm55]

15. okay

[yellowdogintexas]

49. also Ted Knight the newscaster on the Mary Tyler Moore show. nt

[lastlib]

51. Oh, yeah--didn't think about that one!

[BlueGreenLady]

12. Most any shade of Celadon.

Examples: https://www.google.com/search?q=korean+celadon&tbm=isch&rlz=1CASICM_enUS809&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwivtuWm25aBAxWFPd4AHd0iCfQQrNwCKAB6BQgBEIcB&biw=1366&bih=665#imgrc=G-ASQc0veAm9hM

[debm55]

16. Oh that is so nice. Did you get from Pinterest?

[applegrove]

18. Nice.

[BlueGreenLady]

22. LOL. I'm older than Pinterest.

I am instinctively drawn to the color and first came across it in an art museum.

[Bluethroughu]

19. Dark olive green and midnight blue

I go back and forth on which one.

My front door is dark olive green and front room wall and bottom kitchen cabinets midnight blue. It's cozy moody, like me.

Aqua I like at night in the spa lights...it reminds me of the northern lights.

[Mad_Dem_X]

20. Orange.

I even had an orange vehicle, until I wrecked it last Thanksgiving.

[Harker]

21. Purple, since my first box of crayons...

but it"s a situational thing.

[Glorfindel]

23. Magenta

[The Blue Flower]

24. celadon--a very particular shade of pale green

[Ocelot II]

25. Depends on what the color is on.

For example, I like orange on fall foliage but I don't like it on carpeting. I love most greens but since I don't look good in certain shades of green, I don't have a lot of green articles of clothing. I like purple as a color for flowers and sunsets but not on the siding of my house.

[senseandsensibility]

45. I'm with you on that

Very practical answer, and allows you to enjoy a full range of colors!

[ailsagirl]

27. Green-- hands down

[thatcrowwoman]

31. Blues. Deep midnight (not-too-turbulent indigo), cobalt, sky blue, turquoise.

I inherited Nordic Blues from my grandmother’s Norwegian dairy farming branch of the family tree. Not my favorite blue, but better than turbulent indigo.

37. As a Colorist in my art, design, and usually crafts I really don't have a favorite. If...

(Life forbid) put a gun to my head I'd say: printer's magenta on paper. It often looks different as a digital color.
4 color printing process =
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow + Black

*My favorite colors*
Saturated:
printers' magenta, red-purple, violet, electric royal blue (a Prismacolor colored pencil), turquoise, apple green, chartreuse, cadmium yellow medium, yellow-orange, vermilion, red

Shades:
golden ocher, rust red, rust orange, olives

Pastels:
pale and very pale apple green
"..............."......."..... chartreuse
"..............."......."..... magenta
"..............."......."..... orange (becomes peach colors)
somewhat pale violet

😁

38. Depends what I'm looking at. If it's the sky, blue.

If it's a tree, green. If it's a 1934 Ford roadster hotrod, red. If it's a smiley face, yellow.

[area51]

39. Purple.

[Different Drummer]

40. My favorite is maroon.

Teal is a close second.

[Solly Mack]

41. All shades of purple.

[VGNonly]

43. Water colors

blues, greens and all the variations.

[senseandsensibility]

44. Purple!

All shades. I do like aqua as well.

[yellowdogintexas]

46. dead tie between true red and royal blue (I want a bright blue car)

The dark jewel tone colors work best for me
Purple and deep green are also good.

Yellow unless more toward the buttery shades is a no.
lighter versions of purple and green don't work either

[WestMichRad]

50. I've never understood this question.

How do you choose a favorite part of the visible spectrum? It’s like picking a favorite note or chord in music. Some may feel more pleasant to the ear when isolated, but it’s how they (chords and notes) all work together that makes music enjoyable. The same goes for the color spectrum… for me, anyway. It’s wonderful that our eyes allow most of us to enjoy the color spectrum, isn’t it?!

Of course, my answer to your question is usually “green.” (That helps to avoid going down the above rabbit hole during a conversation!). The base color of plants, without which life as we know it on this planet would not exist.

[mentalsolstice]

52. Where I live is named for a color

The emerald coast, and it’s beautiful. Otherwise I would say most colors you see in nature….you can’t wear them or paint your walls with them. All you can do is look for them and appreciate them as they are.
