What's your favorite color?

There's a question going around about your favorite crayola color, and someone linked to Complete List of Current Crayola Crayon Colors by Jenny Crowther.

I remember that my favorite was Blue Violet, a deep purple, although it doesn't look that great on screen. I can tell they've changed a lot of the color names (and probably colors) since I was last deeply involved with a box of 64 Crayola Crayons (with the built-in sharpener), and my kid self is shocked and dismayed. They're not allowed to do that! Are they?? Some things are supposed to stay familiar and consistent!

ETA: Here's a list of retired colors.

I would add that I like purple a lot to wear, and reds and oranges a lot to look at on other people.

But greens and blues make me sigh happily.
