I decided to go ahead and post this now, even if no one really cares:
I don't think people really have "favorite colors". I think most objects are just made with a standard set of colors that are assigned connotations and people pick one out of those to like. When I was a kid (whcih is what enneagram seems to be about), I pretty much just
hated blue and green, and had a rather entertaining shifting list of favorite colors, including trying to wear all black in primary school, and making everything golden-yellow (like the color on flags or Egyptian pyramids) with every color in the rainbow as a secondary. A long while back, I felt like I didn't have a favorite color, and, determined to be super unique in that regard and beyond childish games of having a favorite everything, googled "not having a favorite color" (
I found out I wasn't so unique there, and a pretty neat article, although most of the pages when you google that phrase are still "What Your Favorite Color Says About You"). Shortly after that I decided just to say black since it goes with all the colors and is the best color to wear and have random objects in, which is really what people mean anyways.
If you want to have your conception of your "favorite color" challenged, go look at a good art gallery or museum in real life. I used to hate blue for being "so boring", which it is in the Modern Standard Color Scheme, but look at a nice ultramarine or Prussian or cobalt blue (all of which literally can't be close to accurately displayed on any computer monitor due to how the pigments reflect light) and you'll see that blue can be beautiful and deep and not boring. Standard green dyes and paints are ugly (which is probably why they're always used for slime and monsters), but go hike on a green trail or look at an emerald and you'll see they're beautiful. Looking at paintings and sculptures is an easy way to see all of the hues within a short span of time pretty easily though, compared to having to hike in the forest, then go to the lake, then go to a volcano at sunset...
I think a lot of the issue with colors just being designated as rather shallow symbols instead of enjoyed for what they are has to do with the fact that
75% of Americans need corrective lenses and
corrective lenses really diminish your vision in every way ("chromatic abberation" = changing colors, "distortion" = changing shapes... this happens to some degree with all lenses, so don't get one carved into your retina. If you're one of the 75% of people with glasses, take them off now, look
closely at everything around you and you'll see what I mean), so instead of actually understanding colors and what they mean from experience, people have to be told. Which is always dumb crap like "green is money and envy!" or "red is anger!" Yeah, they can be those things, but even when they are, that's shallow because they're always
more.
