I'm BLUE, da ba dee da ba di...Yep, it's me, the blue-haired kid. Blue rocks my socks--the baby cornflower saphire periwinkle Windex hues fill my cerulean lenses with a sun-dappled ocean of mild to maddening casts of my favorite color. Gloomy? Melancholy? Down in the dumps? Not me, and not my blues--try 'amethystine,' 'cyanotic,' and 'Hooloovoo'--that's a hard one, so if you haven't read Hitchihiker's Guide to the Galaxy--and you should have--then don't feel so bad. That Adams guy is one cool frood. Blue isn't a gang, it's a million dazzling and exciting colors everywhere you look!

*I love the color BLUE too, darn it*
There are so many colors in this world... Blue is my favorite. My favorite shirts are blue-colored. I have two shower towels and they are blue. Blue is everywhere you go, above you. It's the sky. Blue makes me feel so "cool" because I feel like I am in the pool. That's right! The water is blue! I also love blue-colored Gatorade. It taste so fresh. The fishes are live in the ocean, and the ocean is blue! You just can't hate blue, can you?

I am RED, so furious, so beautiful like burning ember, full of life, so bright, so mighty, maybe too much to handle, maybe just perfect, like a hot summer day, just you and your babe.

I shine in blue, feel high spirited in blue. Blue is an emotion, a shade of my favorite nail polish, a color of the swaying ocean, and a representation of the earth. Blue also gives me courage and self-assurance, which is my idiosyncrasy to thrive. Blue brings me promises, passion and prosperity in life. Why blue? Because it is my favorite color!

I like many different colors, depending on my emotion and the surrounding environment. when it's hot in summer, I prefer light colors such as light green, white and blue. When it's cold in winter, I prefer warmer colors such as red. It doesn't mean that I don't have a favorite color. Indeed, I love green and blue. These colors make me feel closer to the nature. Green makes me feel like I'm under the shade. It cools me down when it's hot in summer and when I'm angry. I love traveling, hence, blue reminds me of the beautiful sky and ocean.

I was born to bleed the blue and gold. It is my the fear of the ememy that sets me free. I will storm the battle ground to rip the head off a tree. My goal is to paint every mud colored building a sathering color. I will cover their red roofs with a sproul like finish. And I will build it in less time. If my name was Oak Tree, I would die to see my dreams come true.

My favorite color is orange....
orange can be a form of food or a compliment to a lovely hair due Orange the color of the sun that brightens up the day and makes the pain go away the sweet juices that give way from the orange leave a tangy taste that wants you coming back for more orange my personality that is smart and funny can bring joy to people that barely know me
MII PURPLE!!
I am purple, barney the dinosaur purple...the wonderful hue that "mama blue" and "papa red" creates. the better tasteing grape or the worst flavored candy. My heart is the purple that "frames the pictures of the past that once created a love so red and once painted skies so blue a discoloration baby, purple bruises me and you". As blue as the darkened sea and red as bloodied veins i am the purple that goes insane.
PURPLE RULES!!!!(not that there is any thing wrong with any other color)

Brown is my color, any shades of it. It makes me feel confortable and secure. It helps me being me.
Brown is the color of fresh cut
wood, brown is the color of oak trees in the spring, brown is rich like chocolate, brown is the color of leaves in autumn, brown is the smell of fresh autumn air.

The Neon Green energy surging through my veins giving me unrelenting vigor. Incandescently frolicking through a meadow of jubilation, the lime light encompasses the very soul. The grass does not fade, does not wither, nor does its omniprescence. Lush Chlorophyll lollygagging and galavanting across a field of dreams gesticulating its verdant verbage. Neon Green is the bomb...
Daniel Nguyen
Blue always reminds me of spring, through the sunny and rainy days...and most importantly
"Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know Ive been to sea betore
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey blue, here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well therere so many sinking now
Youve got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
Everybodys saying that hells the hippest way to go
Well I dont think so
But Im gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you...."
Lyrics by Joni Mitchell

Pink is such a girly color that everyone associates with baby girls..Pink is a calming and soothing color--I'm not talking about "Hot Pink" here. I love the pastel shade of pink. Having three girls I'm surrounded by pink princesses...they all love the color pink too--at least the ones that are old enough to know their colors. I love the mix of brown with pink. Think of the beautiful brown dirt that the gleaming pink roses grow in. They both are the hottest color mix to me :) A little bit of girl and a little bit of boy mixture--balances my color flavor :)

Green is life which signifies growth, it is the color of nature where all things grow.Lush green meads scent of the blooms of May,
And it's Spring in a green Land far away.Green is beautiful.

Purple is my color... I dream of walking through fields of radiant lavenders and lovely lilacs. I wear sparkling amethysts that dazzle in the summer sun. I soothe myself with the scent of candles of violet.

I LOVE blue and white because they paint the color of the beautiful sky. Sunny day makes me smile, but rainy day makes me moody. Why? The hateful gray clouds hide blue from me so I become gloomy. Blue and white, colors of the serene sky, create a fantastic dreamland upon me. Dog, cat, horse, candy, donut, you name it, what can't cloud be? I dream of a naughty fish rock and roll like a glamorous superstar, a shy crab hides its blushing face behind a wavy curtain of waterweeds, and a hungry shark showing off its sparkling teeth and dancing like a crazy freak under the sea. Blue accept and suit them all. It becomes part of their life; it is also the unforgettable part of my life. You ask, "Why blue AND white?" I say, "Because I see them shining in your eyes."

Wow, I really like Daniel's post. It has so many vivid images! Good job! =)

My favorite color is dayglow yellow. I love when it is described like that because whenever I'm wearing it or see it, it just makes me feel brighter and glowy, from the inside out. Yellow, like the beautiful sun (that we haven't been seeing for a couple of days because of the smoke) that gives us light each day. I like bright colors in general because they stand out and can catch your eye from across the room. It gives me so much energy and excitement, and no one can really resist that. Maybe I could call it irresistible yellow...

I love orange; it is the color of the verdant coral reefs which encases exotic fish. It is the color of island bearing animals such as elegant parquets. It is the color of succulent citrus which livens up the body. Orange is like fire and entices aliveness and brightness. Orange is like the 1970s with its newfangled aura. Orange is the shade of fall and reminds me of incipiency and jubilation coming soon. Pumpkins and squash are retrospective of hallows eve. Orange has red which incandescent passion and vehemence. Orange as well has yellow which is jovial and buoyant, so the color orange is strident of attention, but is nonchalant.

Sandra, I'm adding more to my post cause it was a little short.
Purple represents my passion for the Sacramento Kings. I anticipate excitement when I see players in their crisp purple and white uniforms in an arena filled with hungry fans.
Kimberly
I must insist that the color red is the most dominating of all colors. Vibrant, powerful, furious, and demanding. It blinds us with its brilliants, scorches our soul with its heat and forces time itself to stand still. Red is the color of blood, the color found in the heart of a dying star and is therefore the color both life and death. No matter who or what you are your life is ruled by red. Submit and let the color wash over you like the cleansing flame of God.

I Looovvvve Yelloooww!!!...Joyful, refreshing, cheerful color that brings life to my life. Delighted! Exultant! Ecstatic! Whenever I see yellow it brings a smirk on my face like a happy smiling face ;) Optimistic! Positive! Exciting moods it sets me in. I feel Blissful, in high Spirits, feeling fresh and upbeat. It gives me energy like early morning sunrise and carms me down when I see a sunset... I like everything that is yellow, Yellow Roses, Pooh Bear, LAKERS, Picachoo, Tweety,and many more....

Blue is my favorite.
Blue is the natural color from the blue of the sky. The cool calming effect of blue makes time pass more quickly. Blue brings peace to a person when in stress. It can be strong or light and friendly. Blue the powerful color of importance and confidence. The color blue represents my personality and appearance.

I fancy the color yellow! Yellow is bright like the sun. It's full of color. It's vibrant and glowing. It's happy like a yellow smiley face. It's lively, energetic, and radiant.

Color ! My favorite! This is the absolute best and worst thing to ask of me! Color...okay--I'll try. Its a real toss-up between green and brownn though, I'm warning you. Green is deep; not like intellectual-deep, but like-a-lake-deep. Like subterranean and cavernous. Like bottomless and abysmal. Like I've traveled to the nethermost parts of this remarkably exquisite earth, crossing chasms and found this place from which everything good comes. Like the bass in an ocrhestra that resonates and penetrates through you. Like the sea: enveloping and profound and intensely sonorous. Like infinite and unending.
