My Least Favorite Color

As a little kid, my favorite color was red. But I think that's because society labeled certain colors as being more "masculine"(e.g. blue, black) and more "feminine" (e.g. pink, red).




And teachers lead us to believe we MUST have a favorite color, favorite number, favorite animal, favorite tv show, favorite movie... etc.

But I think favorites can change all the time.

Why must we pick one?

I remember I liked red and hated black. Purely for femininity's sake. Now I love black. Fashion changes all the time and I noticed people tend to like colors that look good and/or are in style. I like colors that look good.

It makes sense.

One day, as a little girl, coloring with my crayons. I discovered my least favorite color. I was coloring a picture with all the colors of the rainbow. And it wasn't until I added green...

I thought, oh what happened? It's so much uglier now.

Especially if there's yellow in the picture too. They don't seem to like each other. But I will almost always choose yellow over green.

a demonstration:

a simple picture with many colors





it looks ok


now add some green...





and yuck. I've ruined it.



But of course I don't hate green. There are times it looks good. How could I say no to an emerald green dress?





But I'm just saying, If I had to pick a least favorite color...
