My Favorite and Least Favorite Colors

My favorite color is green. In the famous words of Paige the Notebook from the popular Web series Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, green is not a creative color. But to me, the color green represents beauty, nature, and purity. It awakens childhood memories of playing in the woods under the canopy of emerald leaves, or trekking through the jungle during our vacations in Hawaii and Jamaica. It also reminds me of the earth element, which I associate myself with, and my favorite gemstones, emerald and peridot (the latter being my birthstone). Many foods are also green, and my favorite green foods are pears, white grapes, sugar snap peas, and watermelon. I also have green eyes, so that may be why I like the color green so much. Who knows?

My least favorite color is brown. Brown is a color that always struck me as dull. Maybe it's because plants usually turn brown when they die. Maybe it's because when the leaves turn brown, that means winter is coming, and that's a bad thing because I cannot stand the cold. Maybe it's because rotten things are usually brown, maybe it's because my mother's house is full of dull colors and I just got bored of them, maybe it's because brown is the color of dirt and filth, or maybe it's because brown is such a dull color compared to other colors. That's not to say I don't like brown. Brown can look good in certain situations, and being someone with brown hair I am obligated to say so. Still, of all the colors, brown is my least favorite.
