Different colours are associated with different people who reside inside my brain. (I've been engaged in Roleplaying Games since I was old enough to talk. I have some characters I've played for almost as long as I've been alive. It's not really acting for those anymore, just another part of me I can put on.)

Blue -- I've done Megaman/Rockman X related RP since I was about 12. This colour relates to all those memories, and on the whole tends to remind me of a time where I was still innocent, and, though a horrible person, the world still seemed to be a good place.

Pink -- Iris, a character I played from the MM/RM X RP for many years. Completely insane. One minute she's telling you she loves you, the next she's trying to kill you while still saying she loves you, the next she's killing you while loving you.

Red -- I don't know why, exactly, but when I wear red, I'm a big bad-ass Samurai. I even do the Arrogant Samurai Walk(tm), when wearing red.

Red/Grey -- I'm a smooth operator when in the presence of, or wearing, these two colours.

Black -- For some reason, when I wear black, or am surrounded by black (like at night, with no lights, just the stars and the moon,) I'm generally completely calm, at ease, and at peace. I don't know why. I just do know that every time I've ever been confronted with a brush with death, while wearing black, I've been completely calm and accepting about it.

I'm not really sure if this is a color per se. But I like things with an iridecence cast to it. Like certain paint jobs on cars. The base coat can be almost anything, but if it has that rainbow effect to it, my eye will be drawn to it.

...although I do prefer the midnight blue versions over almost any other base coat.

As far as my least favorite color?

Scheiss brown

...am I allowed to say such in Yiddish?

Red and black ('cause I'm a Terp).

Orange and blue ('cause I'm an honorary 'Gator).

Is Chrome a color?

I like black for pretty much the same reasons as Emotional Leper:
Black -- For some reason, when I wear black, or am surrounded by black (like at night, with no lights, just the stars and the moon,) I'm generally completely calm, at ease, and at peace.

Hate light green and pink.

I find I have the opposite feelings with blackness around me. I like wearing the color, but when I'm in the night or darkness, it gives me....mmmm....like secret agents feelings. I'm suspicious of everything and a little freaked out.

Favorites would have to be black and navy blue -- darker colors seem to suit my personality. And -- while I'm generally not a vain person -- I always look my best when wearing black, which perhaps makes me even more confident than usual.

Least favorites are lime green and that awful yellow/green color that looks like vomit. I also dislike most colors that have a "neon" cast.

You're just jealous because of that hug I gave Cail above...

But, you had a real one, if not more than one, in person from me. I still remember it, even if you don't. :)

I thought I'd told you that story....

My first day at work after I moved to Jacksonville, I was surrounded by my crew in a rather threatening way, and asked point blank if I was a 'Gator or a 'Nole (Thank God I knew what they were talking about). Since I thought Bobby Bowden looked like a tool, I meekly said"'Gator?", and was rewarded with hoots, yells, and back-slaps.

Ever since then I've followed the 'Gators, and rooted for them when it doesn't impact my 'Terps.

My favorite color is blue, specifically turquoise.

My least favorite used to be red. But I've made my peace with it.

Well obviously you were in fear for your life and so you would've said just about anything.....this is a clear cut example of Stockholm Syndrome.
