Fake Discussion : Red is the most superior color of the spectrum!
blacksinow:
But red is the color of blood and the ONLY place where I've seen green blood is the americanized Knights of the Zodiac.

Minor quibble: I think it's the other way around (redder = longer wavelength)
--- Quote ---We're hardwired to prefer warmth, which is why humans like red so much.

Another possibility is that we grow to like colours that we subconsciously associate with nice things :o red is also the colour of danger and sweet blushes. Or angry ones :o
--- Quote ---Pop quiz: The human eye is twice as sensitive to green as it is to red and violet. Also, plants are almost always green. Are these two things related?

They may be, indirectly. The sun's peak energy output lies around the greenish wavelengths, so being extra sensitive to greenish photons will make life a little easier for animals who see (and being less sensitive ie. reflecting green photons will make life easier for plants who want to avoid sunburn :o). Sensitivity to green and red may also have been especially advantageous in our ancestral environments, whether we're talking about forests or the savannah.

Red/green colorblindness is the most common colorblindness. Obviously that makes those colors inferior!
(I actually really like green. My favorite colors are typically blue-greens, sometimes purples.)

Ha! Clearly it makes those people inferior!
(click to show/hide)My apologies to any colour-blind people who may have read this, it is clearly this worthless one who is inferior

Blue wins.
Or else.
All hail Bluecifer!
