In light and in celebration of Election Day, I wanted to start a thread that would allow people to vote on something. I noticed sarcasticmuppet started a poll on the presidential election, but, as she mentioned, a lot of people don’t like sharing who they vote for. So, I thought I’d trying making a poll for something most people wouldn’t mind sharing their opinion on. This is the age-old question, the question that always seems to come up at some point when we meet new people, sometime in your lifetime you’ve been asked this, “What is your favorite color?”

Hopefully that question won't elicit controversy and mass rioting.

Now, I know some of you have a liking to a unique shade of a color like, for instance,
”crystalline salmon aqua marine purple” or “melancholy night-fire orange.” If you have a unique shade-name, please share it! Haha, but for the purposes of simplifying the voting process, try to fit your color under one of these basic ones:

Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Brown, White, Black, Purple. (Ok, ok, ok, I’ll add “clear” to the list, too) Clear.

My vote is for “Blue”

Red: 4
Blue: 12.5
Yellow: 1
Green: 13
Orange: 2
Brown: 0
White: 0
Black: 3.5
Purple: 5
Clear: 1

And thus, it’ll finally be determined what color the majority of hatrackers favor. Vote, and see if your favorite color wins [Wink]

Green. [Smile]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Clear is even less of a color than white! [Razz]

Anyway, put me down for purple, I guess.

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

My favorite color is Bunn

Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :

haha, that's flattering, rahul, but "bunn" isn't one of the colors. [Wink]

unless you mean "brown"?

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

oops, meant blue [Wink]

Posted by hugh57 (Member # 5527) on :

Green. More specifically, Dark or "Hunter" Green

Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :

whoo! two for blue, so far.

Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :

oh! but tied with green.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

This poll is harder than the other one... the other one I have a clear opinion on, but this one I'm completely undecided!

Either blue or purple. Hmm. [Angst]

Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :

Haha, yikes! I didn't think of that problem. Hmm, well Raia, please vote when you decide on one of the two (blue! blue! blue!) Er, um, i mean.. yeah. I might end up adding an "undecided" slot. [Cool]

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Trust me to cause problems... sorry! [Blushing]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Green!

And I mean a REAL green -- like British racing green, or grass green, or forest green -- not this wimpy yellow/greens or pastel greens.

FG

Posted by BunnV (Member # 6816) on :

Haha, noeomon, nice compromise. Seems like green is winning at the moment.

Farmgirl, is this a whipy green? --> [Roll Eyes]
