Color Preference by Gender

Color insights from Live Science.

Blue: Male 42%, Female 29%

Green: Male 25%, Female 19%

Purple: Male 12%, Female 27%

Red: Male 8%, Female 9%

Yellow: Male 5%, Female 6%

Orange: Male 7%, Female 3%

Pink: Male 1%, Female 7%

It’s surprising to me that purple is cited as the third most-liked color for both males and females. But they didn’t include brown, white, gray and black in this study. I’m guessing a lot of men prefer those neutrals over purple!

5 Fascinating Color Facts

Here are some random facts about color that might surprise you! From UCreative.

40% of people worldwide say their favorite color is blue, by far the most popular color.

Red is the first color a baby sees, at around 2 weeks of age.

White is considered the safest color for a car. I’ve seen studies on this – it’s the color that’s most visible both day and night.

Red and yellow together are the most appetizing colors. That’s why they’re used in a lot of fast food signs.

Meaning of Colors in Art and Design

Color theory is a collection of guidelines regarding the use of color in art and design, and it has deepened in interest since Isaac Newton’s conceptualization of the color wheel in the early 18th century.

It has been scientifically proven that different colors and hues have a significant impact on our emotions and the way we react, which is why brands spend rigorous amounts of time developing their branding to impact the way consumers feel.

Invaluable created a helpful infographic on the science of color, and how each can affect our emotions differently.

Refer to the visuals below to help guide your branding and accomplish the goals you seek to create from your business.

Red color meaning

The color red can exude different emotions depending on its use.

It has intense characteristics that elicit strong reactions, and many brands and advertisers try to capitalize on its visibility and stimulation.

YouTube, for example, uses red in their logo as a way to accent their brand name and attract viewers.

Red also tends to fuel passion, whether it be in an aggressive sense, or that of love.

Red color meaning and emotion

Orange color meaning

Like its color wheel neighbor red, orange is an attention-grabbing hue.

Orange can be used to signify extravagance and command attention.

Sports teams often use orange in their logos and mascots because it has an energetic undertone.

Though it’s bright and jovial, be careful of overusing orange, as it can get harsh.

Yellow is bright and intense, so it triggers strong emotions.

Though it can be cheery and warm, it can also seem abrasive or cause frustration or anger when used in the wrong context.

While too much yellow overstimulates, a dash of yellow can stimulate your appetite. This is why fast food restaurants like McDonald’s incorporate it into their branding.

Yellow color meaning and emotion

Black color meaning

Black appears heavy from a visual standpoint. That’s why it’s used sparingly in art.

Artists looking to evoke a “darker” feeling rely on generous amounts of black.

Black is usually associated with power, authority, and mystery.

As the absence of color, white has a pure, clean feeling – thus it’s used in hospitals and spas to suggest sterility and cleanliness.

Be sure you know your audience so you use colors appropriately!

  2. Hi, Louise …

    Always enjoy looking in on — and learning from — your articles.

    You could do a great companion piece on the psychology of color in business. You touched on it here with your mention of red/yellow being ‘appetizing’ colors for the food industry. Not just McD’s, but Burger King, Carl’s Jr, Wendy’s, Taco Bell utilize variants of red/yellow.

    Interesting how (medium) blue tends to connote business. Think IBM, Chase Bank, and scores of other banks.

    It would be great to see you expand on this and speak with greater definition to the psychology of color in business. Wouldn’t it be tremendously helpful to keep in mind as we design ours or other S/M presences?

    Best,

  4. You hit mine and my husbands personalities right on 100% correct. My husbands is purple and my first favorite color is pink, my second is red. I feel like pink best describes me tho.??

    • I cant wait til we get my 3 year olds personality. He always says that red and purple are his favorite colors…..Now my youngest grandson is 8 months old…My oldest name is Evan and Hunter is 8 months old. I believe Evan always evaluates his favorite colors are right compared to his personalities. And I believe they are correct. I believe that they are correct.

    • Interesting. While they may not have full color development, I’ve found many articles online that say they can distinguish colors. Not subtle differences, of course!

      Here’s one quote: At one week after birth, they can see red, orange, yellow and green.

      Another: As their color vision begins to develop, babies will see red first – they will see the full spectrum of colors by the time they reach three months of age.

      No idea how they determine this! I don’t think it’s terribly important – though an interesting subject.

      • Not accurate for me either–in fact I’m the opposite, a perpetually anxious contrarian. My favorite color is gray because I love the drama, the calm, and the modern all combined. I think if your favorite color is grey your a person who makes your own judgments of people and events because picking grey isn’t exactly conforming–picking blue would be.

  27. If 42% of males favorite color is blue and 29% of the female populations favourite colour is blue; then your statement below, that 40% of the populations favorite color is blue is statistically incorrect (assuming that the population consists of 50% male and 50% is female).
    Is there another gender accounted for in this survey that I don’t know about.

  31. Do not have a hard specific favourite colour thou leans towards a pearly blue darkish grey with streaks of green supported on brown. Not a mixup of colours but dynamic depending on mood, object/subject involved or portrait. Least propably purple, pink or a harsh blue.

  33. How do i say what is my favorite color as i love them all equally! However, for me, more depends on different shades/hues for different material.

    Reply

  34. I thought I was obsessed with color, especially blue, my absolute favorite! I’ve weeded out all the red I had years ago and prefer just about any shade of blue over anything else. Most of my wardrobe and furnishings are some shade of blue, but I do like green, purple, yellow and pink and various shades of each of those as well. I really hate red, though, am actually repelled by it. I can tolerate orange, more in the pastel range, though, and cranberry and magenta are about as red as I can stand, but not fire engine red, not even tomato or candy apple (unless it’s metallic on a car). What does all that say about me, I wonder?

    • That’s really interesting, Phyllis! I wonder if the color red reminds you of someone or something distasteful.

  35. My two favorites have always been purple and black. Girls have always complimented me when I wear those colors, so I obviously respond to that and who wouldn’t. Though the needs emotional support, well probably and yet I would loath to ever admit it.

  37. I’d be interested in knowing if you see the color of individual words. I read that everyone does but most lose that ability around 4 or 5 years old. I still associate colors with words & I’m 68. Once my daughter said she did, too (she was 19 at the time) & my husband said he didn’t believe us. We asked him to make a list of 20 random words and we went into different rooms with a copy & wrote down their colors. On comparison, we had the same color for every word but 2 of them. One she had green & I had aqua; the other she had brown & I had tan. The results surprised us all!

  38. Hi! Talking about the colors, I do like the black most. Black is indeed an evil choice as in absentia of light literally means it.
    More over, black is somewhat neutral, decent, and aggressive among all color patterns. I wish I could know more about the same. Thank you

  47. I also don’t have a favorite color. I think every color is beautiful and don’t want to just like one. God made all colors in the world he created so I can’t even think about choosing just one color. I will say that I wear lots of black but I do that for two different reasons. One because my husband didn’t like me to wear bright colors or any colors as far as that goes and the second is because I am over weight and I wear it to help me look thinner. If I do chose color, it isn’t any particular one. I usually paint the walls of my house white or close to it so I can don’t have to just use one color very long and can change it around more often without having to paint the walls all the time.

  85. I enjoyed the article. One mistake that needs to be clarified: it’s not white that’s the absence of color- black is. White is the combination of all the colors on the spectrum which is why white light that passes through a prism will break up into the colors of the rainbow.

    • It’s not a “mistake.” Whether it’s the absence or presence of all colors depends on if you’re talking about pigments or light.

  87. Love GREEN! I could say is that although I would not rely this as to who I really am, presentation is quite right bay the way I am. But really I am a well-natured person in my opinion, so. I guess it works! But of course we associate colors with things and feelings towards somethings generally.

  88. My favourite colour is first of all blue then dark green, I don’t get attracted by light or normal green. Is there no difference for different shades of the same colour??

  89. HI Louise,

    I was curious this afternoon about what colors mean and why do people like certain colors.

    As a child, I was very much so was a tomboy so the color red was always my favorite. As I entered teen years I changed it to pink to mold into the “new” me which was to ditch the tomboy look for a more girly appearance. Towards the end of my teenage years I changed it to black because I’ve lost touch with color and didn’t want to draw attention. However recently I’ve returned back to loving red again along with black.

    I’ll say I’m not exactly the type to match red traits. I match mostly black and a bit of grey. But regardless, I still like red even though its not the bright kind of red anymore, more of a dark red.

    Overall, this was really fun to read and allowed me not only understand myself better but the people around me.
