As usual, there is a method to my madness which I will explain later.
For myself, blue. For two others I asked, also blue.

My favourite colour is RED. It may not be fashionable but I love red, always have. Why do you want to know this information, I am curious.

I got to thinking that if it is the result of neurotransmitter release it might be reflected in our color choice. 4 of 6 so far.

Several things combined to get my interest going in this direction.
1) It is commonly reported that blue lenses relieve PD symptoms - sometimes quite dramatically. There is a Youtube video that is particularly impressive. 2) In light of what we have learned about the role of light and the length of day as a regulatory element in the way we function, the idea that specific wavelengths (colors) might have particular effects is not so weird as once thought. 3) Blue, in particular, is interesting since it is the color of the sky and presumably would have been a logical choice evolutionarily speaking for a benchmarking system. 4) Add all that up, along with recent research showing that there are, indeed, specific receptors in the eye for blue light that seem to be more ancient than the familiar rods and cones. " Diagnostic imaging, neurology MR brain imaging discovers blue light affects memory and alertness 12 December 2007 Researchers at the University of Liege, Belgium, and the University of Surrey, UK, have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to discover a previously unknown affect of light on the brain. They have shown that blue light can affect basic functions of the human brain such as alertness, memory, emotion and cognitive tasks. " http://www.mtbeurope.info/news/2007/712015.htm 5) Then consider the following quotes from various writers and the dates noted: ""#5<blue-violet> is one of the most important frequencies in the treatment of 'Americanitis' expressed in hyperirritability, hurrying, speed mania, the desire to do many things in a limited amount of time, and over-activity of many kinds without plan or reason. Continuous over-exposure to various stimuli of light, sound, and motion has created hyper-irritability of nervous response in inhabitants of our big cities, and most of those coming for treatment suffer more or less from conditions which require lowering of tonus and relaxation, where #5 is indicated." -1939 ""In syntonic phototherapy, red light is prescribed for amblyopia because red allows retinal charge to build. Then when the retina fires in response to light, it does so with an increased vigor capable of overwhelming resistant synapses in the retina and visual centers in the brain. Blue light depletes excess charge in the body. When a body builds too much charge, muscles will tighten in spastic knots and senses will be hyper reactive. Increased pain, for example, would result from lowered thresholds and increased sensation. By reducing charge, blue light relieves acute pain and tension." http://www.syntonicphototherapy.com/...=42&SubPage=43 It is interesting at the very least. Anyone else blue?
