Try to think about how the color effects you psychologically or why you like it because of some other reason. Just try to analyze it.

Green
Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. Dark green is masculine, conservative, and implies wealth. However, seamstresses often refuse to use green thread on the eve of a fashion show for fear it will bring bad luck.
Yellow
Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism.

Early in my life it was green, because this boy I liked in middle school said it was his too... LOL Believe it or not. I came to like it by conditioning myself for his sake to have something in common with him. LOL
Later on it became red because I am an Aries and it is my sign. We have fiery natures and fiery planets and I liked it and wore it and had red hair and red walls and everything. It was an aggressive time in my life where I was struggling with my identity and I suppose I needed that color.
My how we change our thoughts on everything with time!
Now, my favorite color is a deep dark bluish kind of purple I don't quite know if it has a name? I like it because it makes me feel warm and comfortable to look at it, it is a naturally anteseptic color too I hear, a healing color.
Metaphysical believers call it Akasha, the color that is most prevelent in the realm where thought takes physical form. But I don't know about that?
Will it change again to the needs I will have of a color as I age and grow older? We shall see?

My favorite color is Bright Pink! Why I picked this color is because when I am sad pink makes me think why I am so thankful for everything and makes me excited for an upcoming event! It also represents "girls" so I like that because it is just so girly and feminine!
