Thank you!
Is such a nonsensical question to me. What! You want me to not like colours? What kind of monster do you think I am? I love them all! Yes, even beige, I don't care !
When I would play Saints Row, that one looks closest to the colour I'd pick for all the cars and clothes. (If you're unfamiliar with the series, it's a gang-themed action RPG similar to GTA and made to compete with it when it was exclusive to PlayStation; the original Saints Row was Xbox exclusive, though the rest have been on all platforms. The Third Street Saints gang uses the colour purple primarily, likely because no major gang does.)
Half psychedelic, half indigo. Also, I'm darn certain some of these can't be rightly labeled. Either that or the 'average' perception and memory of color names is way off, because I swear I've seen violet as a much darker shade. Also, godddddddang, who put them in this order? It's not alphabetical, it's not in similarity, it's not even in brightness/darkness.
Only if you adopt a bisexual from the local pound. Don't worry, they're really easy to care for. If you pat them on the head and give them affirmations twice a day, they are guaranteed to flourish! They're often resourceful enough to find their own food and will often bring home gifts that can be dropped at your feet, like piles of money.
I never claim to like any single colour.
It always has to be in contrast with something and depends upon the context.
For example in a GUI application, if I am making thin lines on black background, I would go with higher Luminance colours.
If I am making 2 large areas side-by-side, separated by colour, then I am most probably going with a very slight difference in Luminance.
Then it also depends upon the screen. I like amber lines on a black background, but have never seen a satisfactory amber on my LCD display. I have seen CRTs do that better. And the most satisfying amber I have seen is that of a CFL at night, where even the colour of the wall behind it, affected the impression (not a screen, but a lighting fixture), so essentially a gradient.
I did a lot of my youth aging in the '90s and my father helped design our house. But my father's sense of style was eternally in the '60s - '70s. About a third of our house was mauve. Mauve carpets, mauve bathroom... Even a pink fucking toilet because "they didn't have one in mauve."

Amethyst and iris. These are pretty much my signature colors. But purples are like doggos: I love them all. π
"Klem," you may ask, "do you have a relevant eyeshadow palette in your collection?"
Of course I do!:

Pink foil text on a purple and pink background was certainly not the best choice for legibility. Neat palette though!

Asking for my favorite shade of any color with no other context is like asking "what's your favorite music note?"

Indigo and ultra violet. I love dark purple

Indigo.
I am partial to blue, and indigo has a pleasing amount of blue, while still being distinctly purple.

Orchid and royal for me.

Amethyst

Amethyst and midnight are tied for me.
ButteryMonkey@piefed.social · 3 pts · 272d
I like psychedelic, violet, and amethyst the most (in that order).
Purples are my absolute favorite, though, so I like most of these.
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 272d
Midnight is absolutely peak, IMO.
Hard choice for second, place, though.
HorreC@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 272d
Ultra Violet. Both in light, and in shade.
kiara@piefed.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 272d
Lavender or Psychedelic
ThirdConsul@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 272d
Plum and orchid
fireweed@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 272d
Quite a number of these seem mislabeled, or at least they don't match their namesake objects (e.g. lavender, lilac, grape)
That said, another vote for "iris"
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 272d
Hands down psychedelic!
ulterno@programming.dev · 2 pts · 272d
So do you really like it for the colour, or for the name?

Definitely the hue. I've done psychedelics a handful of times but much more just prefer my pot.

Plum? Or maybe grape?

I sorely miss periwinkle here. Iris and amethyst are close enough.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 271d
Isn't periwinkle a shade of blue?
angrystego@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 270d
Yeah, it's something between blue and purple, I'd say.

From yhose, violet and psychedelic, the rest are too dark or too cold
