Black is my favorite color
I voted for black. Not only cause I like the name in kanji, but also it's my favorite color with red and white as well.

RED....
赤 (red) is my favorite color! That is why i voted for it!! It looks really cool too. It looks kind of like blue, my 3rd favorite color. I still think red is the best in kanji. Red is the best color ever...too bad red is only in 2nd in the...POLL...

the kanji for purple is awesome. but I voted for blue because lately I really like blue and green.
That's so interesting! It
That's so interesting! It amazes me so much every time I get a little bit of culture info like this -- it's like, BAM! there's a ton of stuff you don't know about! colors are probably really important in Japan for people who are artists, and often people learning Japanese would completely overlook such kanji for that large a range of colors. I mean, who would need to know those kanji? Artists, florists, people who deal with fabrics, interior decorators-- it's a lot of information to think about....
Wikipedia is great. thanks for the info!
YAY
I love this poll haha but do they really not have a kanji for pink? oh well.... 紫 is my second favorite. learning colors is fun...
I see some other names for
I see some other names for colors... like 橙色 for orange, or 桃色 for pink (it literally means "peach color") etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_colors_of_Japan has a TON of different colors, and gives an idea how detailed color naming can get (when you're dealing with things where precision is important, such as design, dyes, paints etc).
And from the Wikipedia page for the color Pink: "In Japanese language, pink has been described as Momoiro (桃色 Momo-Iro), which means "peach color", but Pink (ピンク Pinku) is more popular recently."
So it looks like while there are technically "proper Japanese" names for some of these colors like orange and pink, borrowed words (外来語 gairaigo) are now becoming more popular for them.
I learned some new things just by writing this comment. :D yay!
