The favourite colour poll is a difficult one. Obviously there will be a lot of favourite colours that aren't even on the list. Also, I read somewhere that the human mind has no colour memory. What this means is that it is not actually possible to re-visualise the exact shade of colour that you are trying to remember. You can test this by looking at something, then going away and trying to match it from memory on (for example) a paint colour chart. You just can't do it. Your brain stores the memory as what you *think* is that shade of blue, but it isn't possible to really remember it as it is. Maybe what I think is blue is totally different to what Chris or Byron or Howard think is blue. Maybe the poll will show that most people's favourite colour is blue, but maybe everyone who responded was thinking of a completely different colour.
There is an infinite number of possible colour shades, and even the same colour object looks different colours from different lights and angles.
So how do you know that what you perceive as red isn't perceived as a totally different colour by another person? Your eyes and brain define a certain wavelength of light as what you have been told is red, but maybe what everyone calls red is actually brown or blue. (Don't ask me to whom, though.)
Just to save everyone the effort of telling me, yes, I am now going to shut up and just answer the damn poll.
