As you can see, in this group, the favorite color was blue. This is typical, yet ironic, as the color blue is associated with sadness and depression.Though, when we separate the graphs by gender, some interesting results surface.
Here we can see that the color purple was eliminated from the male color chart. Interesting enough, purple is associated with nobility and loyalty, which are usually two things that males like to flaunt about oneself. But let's take a look at what kind of differences age groups will apply to our results. It is also notable that on the male chart, you will notice a 9% for black, 2% for white, and 3% for gray, all of which technically aren't colors. On the female chart, we can see a 6% for black, 1% for white, and 0% for gray. This may relate to a scientific study, stating that human eye picks up on 3 different colors (and creates millions of hues and variations of) the colors red, blue and green. This study shows that the genes to create copious amounts of hues for red and green lay on the X chromosome, which woman have 2 of. In some cases, certain woman will have the ability to see a lot more red than green, or a lot more green than red. This may describe why some men favor duller shades and tints, such as black, white or gray.
It appears that the liking of the color green decreases with age, as the color purple increases. Blue remains always being a favorite. It is said that older people tend to favor the color white, as it is associated with a sense of comfort and sterility.
