A survey of over 1,100 people from 70 countries found that blue was the most popular favorite color overall, followed by green, purple, and pink. Blue was also the most popular least favorite color. The results showed preferences differed by age and gender, with younger males generally preferring brighter colors than older males, and blue being consistently popular among females regardless of age. Some respondents also left comments about specific colors they liked or disliked.
