It wasn't always that way.  Pink used to be a "male color" and blue was a "feminine color."\n\nRead more in the link provided.\n\nhttp://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=238733

Applied to gender : red (rojo/roja), orange (anaranjado/anaranjada), yelow (amarillo/amarilla),black (negro/negra), white (blanco/blanca)  purple (morado/morada);\n\nApplied to number: all of them (remember, you have to apply the rule of gender first if applicable, before the rule of number [ex : Las camisas rojas, los libros azúles, los coches verdes.])\n\nthe rest stay the same, and don't change with gender. however, they ALL change with number.\n\nyes, you are right. You can say "Los coches son de color café." or "Las camisas son de color amarillo".

Theoretically, the answer is no; all people do not see the same shade and intensity of color.  Color vision occurs as a result of specialized photo-receptors in our eye.  The number of these receptors can differ from person to person, and as a result, some people may be more sensitive to certain colors than others.  A simple way to test this would be to take freshly isolated retinas from various individuals (ie: laboratory animals) such that the photoreceptors (rods and cones) are still intact and expose the retinas to lights of different wavelengths (ie: colors) and intensities while simultaneously recording the neuronal output generated in response to the lights.  I haven't done such an experiment myself, but it is very logical to assume that no two individuals would respond the same way to the lights, since perception of the light stimulus depends on the frequency and duration of the activation of the receptor neuron as well as the number of receptor neurons activated and their distribution in the retina.

hi there! greetings!,\nwell, the favorite color of somebody depends on the color of the person and sometimes the mood of the person. in reality the color plays an important role in your life. when you are wearing  certain color that really affects your mood for the rest of the day.And that even depends on the feelings,there are persons who really feel somewhat comfortable in certain color, cause of the heat absorption. and othere certain affects.one must select the color very carefully, cause it really indicates ones personality! on the others and the favorite color of mines is black ^ white^red^-----depending the mood!.\nthanks

Well they vary per individual. I like pastel colors. I know of some gay men that also like them. Some don't Also I know of a lot of men that like gray's and dark colors and some women do too.Its really a personal thing and you really can't categorize any group to a particular color. If you are talking about babies. Mothers seem to dress their girls in pink and their boys in blue.

YES\nhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/03/040309073256.htm\n"This particular study, along with others, strongly suggests that sexual preference is biologically determined in animals, and possibly in humans," said the study's lead author, Charles E. Roselli, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, OHSU School of Medicine. "The hope is that the study of these brain differences will provide clues to the processes involved in the development and regulation of heterosexual, as well as homosexual, behavior."

I cannot stand the colour pink. That being said, it is my personal decision. I have no problem with those who like pink, wear pink, or do anything else with the colour pink. I think my mom made me wear pink when I was small and it evokes some hatred or some such psychobabble. Why would someone not like another person based on a colour? Talk about shallow..

The color which you are seeing may look differently to other person.\nIt depends on how eyes recieve the color and how the brain interprets the signals.\n\nThis is very difficult to answer. if one can be made to work with more than one brains, then probably, it can be answered correctly!!!

Color. Males have more of a red breast where females have more of a brownish color on their breast.

I guess the color is not as important as the rest of the woman characteristics. May be if the color affects the man choice on  a woman then he might leave her if she dyes her hair.

cultural? perhaps. considered the norm? well, in general terms it would be the case. but i am female and my favourite colour is blue. \nand it isn't true, in that all girls and women like pink and boys and men like blue. even though people associate pink with girls and women and homosexual men because it does in some way connote female-like qualities and it is effeminate. but i am also sure that not all gay guys prefer pink. its just a general stereotype that people associate with them and (straight) women.

I already see you have 23 answers so they will probably pick my answer. I pick black because most of my clothes are black. Makes me look thinner I hope. Of course, when I color with my grandkids, I love the color blue, and red, and especially yellow so the picture is bright or a red orange.

Not as sure about purple vs blue (although I too have wondered about this).\n\nHere is an experiment you should be able to easily reproduce the results of.  Pick a set of colors that we might agree on as "aqua" or "teal" or "blue-green".  Then, FORCE a group of people to say whether each color is either blue or green.  It would seem that we are all tuned a bit differently.

What is your favorite color?

Eye color does not change with mood.  However, it is possible for some people's eyes (especially hazel) to change their apparent color depending on what color of clothing they are wearing or what type/brightness of light they are in because of what is reflected in them.
