No, it's just a statistical statement about an opinion.

Opinion. If eveyone agreed that the world was flat, it would not make the world flat. It would be

Of course! Blue is GREAT. Uh, sorry; it's a fact that everyone says blue is best, but the sayers are opining.
"A Philosophy of Universality," O. M. Aivanhov, "Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, Ph.D., and "The Path of Virtue," Jonathan Murro, relate to your question.

What do you see when you close your eyes? And what about when you open them? How dramatic is the difference? We are entitled to our fantasies. Indeed, we really ought to see them as essential to our well-being. What's the point of a life without dreams? It's true too, that some dreams are best left unfulfilled. They are more enjoyable in the imagination than they would ever be in reality. Yet every so often, we have to get a little of what we want, if only to maintain the tantalising illusion that the rest might just be attainable.

That would be a "sorite", a trick of logic wherein you reason from one type of generalization to another to an unreasonable conclusion. If you'd like to learn more about these, you can look into the life of Lewis Carroll, who wrote "Alice In Wonderland" and other fanciful stories. In the rest of his life, he was a mathematician and photographer named Dodgson, and worked with sorites quite a bit.

Yes...because the question following "What is your favorite color" would be "What is the best color" and everyone would answer...............BLUE

it would definitely be a fact because if everyone agrees that it is, then it just is a fact
good question though, but maybe if you have any smart friends that have glasses, you should listen to them
