i have always liked green and blue the best. today i decided green is my favorite but blue is a close second. i also like brown. yellow white and black are ok. i don't like red orange and purple, and i wouldn't be caught dead wearing lavender or pink.
I never took notes in college. That's how I got a 4.0 the first 2 years, and a 3.5 the second two years.

I never understood the "what is your favorite color?" question. I mean, does anyone ever ask "What is your favorite note?" Nobody would ever answer that question with "I am fond of A3 (220 HZ), but I really don't like F#4 at (roughly) 370 HZ."
Why does color get such special treatment?
Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Inky Pinky ponky,

donkey die,

inky pinky ponky!
liking the key of A-flat major is akin to liking pastels or Monet's color palate during his 'blue' period...which i think is a different thing entirely.
If you had synesthesia then you might well have a favourite note which you got mixed up with your favourite colour. In fact some composers with the condition did associate keys with colours.

When I was little and we had a bag of lollypops, my sister would only eat the red ones. I tried to give her a yellow one, pointing out that she had recently told me that yellow was her favorite color. "Not my favorite FLAVOR!" she objected. I couldn't understand why she would like a color that didn't taste good. Besides, you spend almost as much time looking at a lollipop as licking it.

I have a least favorite note: the tone of my tinnitus. It's like the same one-note song playing all the time!

Agreed. For the longest time, my wife couldn't understand why I hated sleeping when it was totally quiet. Noise, any noise, is better than that one-note song.
