There was a young kid in Norfolk got referred to the local child psychotherapists because he always painted in black. Turns out he was sat at the far end of the table in art class and by the time the paints had been passed to him, the only colour left was black.

God's favourite colour is clearly green, because that's what my favourite colour is.
That's how these sort of theological questions are answered by everyone else, right?

We only see colours because of the particular wavel***ths the receptors in our retinas are sensitive to.
Since God presumably doesn't have humanoid type eyes maybe a greater variety of colours are available to Him via the many different wavel***ths of electromagnetic radiation that we can't actually perceive!
But that aside, blue of course! The colour of sea and sky, Facebook and Ship of Fools!

Guessing it's not brown. Too reminiscent of wood and rusty nails.
Maybe there's a heavenly colour that no human has ever seen or even conceived of.

Purple. Why else would his b***ops be so clothed? Also the colour of Lent which all the miserable gits (ncluding me) much prefer over Easter white and Christmas red. Purple is truly the most divine colour.

[* ]Technically[/* ], our eyes detect frequencies, not wavel***ths. When light passes through a refractive medium (any medium, really, but let's say water) we don't perceive it to change colour. That's because when the light passes through the medium, its velocity and wavel***th change, but its frequency doesn't.

The whole point of colours is you need lots of them to make the concept work so having a favourite colour is a bit rubb***, frankly.

The question surely calls for further theological enquiry. Is lipstick only the idea of the Holy Spirit, in whom is traditionally seen that part of the godhead which might be likened to the human female sex, or does lipstick issue forth from the whole of the Trinity?

The correct (presbyterian) way to handle this is to send an overture to the General Assembly praying for its collective wisdom to be applied to the question. The Moderator will then appoint a Special Committee charged with studying the appropriate scientific and theological resources with reference to Biblical authority, in consultation with the Committee on Church Doctrine, to report back to a future Assembly. Six years later the Committee will present its report, which nobody will read and with which everyone will disagree, calling for a fresh study and censuring the committee members for being a bunch of ungodly heretics. It's similar to the process for changing light bulbs.
But * think the answer is 'yellow'. * once had a lovely yellow shirt, and * 've never been able to find the exact rich shade again. * am sure God likes it, too, because it made me so *****.

* expect God loves the unlovely, so her favourite colour is probably something like puce, or beige.

Crap spouted by la vie en rouge:
Well obviously l have to put in my vote for red. God’s favourite colour is red. That’s why he invented lipstick.
Red is the colour of sin - the colour of rage, of scarlet women, and of the politics of envy.
Black is the colour of evil, of the darkness we choose to hide our sin.
Green is the colour of life; life blooming in the desert is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit.
No contest.

God enjoys all colours equally. He can probably also see ones that we can't, not being limited to the visual spectrum that we're on.

That's because God keeps redecorating. Every time he sees anything painted scarlet, he has to give it several new coats until it is white as snow.

Ultraviolet.
A colour you and * cannot see even if we squint. It drips off the sword daily, like so many fallen bees smoking cigarillos and starting forest fires among the volcanoes on the surface of our unconscious bicameral, biannual and bicommerical minds. And a yak. With a hint of raspberry.

I think it has to be pink because pink is not a colour.
Look at the spectrum and you will not see pink because it is not a colour and it does not have a frequency.
I finally resolved the problem in my own mind when I found a "Gamut" on the internet. The rainbow shows the pure colours around the edge, but we only see pink because we have blue, red and green receptors and when blue (one end) and red (the other end) spark together we see pink.
Now I know why it is so special to some people.
