The color that is. When I was a youngster I absolutely loved the color pink. I work pink shirts, dresses, and bows. Gave pink presents to my favorite teachers. I longed for any toy that had just a glimmer of pink in it.
One day I asked my grandma what her favorite color was and she said that it was blue. After that I started wearing a lot of blue. My 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Simms, told me that the color blue matched my eyes. (I suppose a concept that I had never thought of.) So then, my favorite color turned to blue.
Before I knew it, I was in high school and my wardrobe was every shade of blue imaginable. (my friends will attest to that) The only other colors I wore were the ones that came on my church shirts. Man, I even liked that song, "I'm blue."
ANYWAY...my freshman year of college I rediscovered the color pink! Pink and I have rekindled what we once had. So all of this got me wondering what makes us like the colors we do. So I have done some heavy research using Google in order to answer my question. (what else is research?) And I have no answer! If anyone does find out the answer please tell me--I want to know.
BUT, I did find some interesting facts about Crayola. Did you know the average child in the USA will wear down 730 Crayons by his or her 10th birthday? (I always snapped them in half because I colored too hard so I doubt I made it that far) Also Crayola made several changes to the names of their crayons in order to adapt to the American society. And here is a video I found that explains all of that:

I always wanted to do the crayon naming contests when I was a kid. My favorite crayon was "Tickle Me Pink." Did you have one?
