For Favorites

It's not just color for which I'm thankful; it's favorite colors. I've certainly written about my adoration of the color blue. And not too far behind being the color green.

Color is helpful, although favorite colors make for much convenience. I'm picturing a line-up of children, even adolescents, & there are items-by-color that are for these tykes to use; they gravitate toward their preference, that which has become their favorite color. That color becomes an associated one to them, & when they're in need of things, say a jacket, really any article of clothing, these for cafeteria time, these for kids homework, these for differentiating everyone after bathing, these for bathroom sink needs, a plate & cup from which to eat their meal, these particular associated colors can become great signifiers.

Favorite colors can also help to select gifts. How many times do we see something in a store & think, just because we've seen it & it happens to be in "Aunt Sally's" favorite color, that it's an ideal gift for her & that we should, indeed purchase it for her? Likely way more often than we should. Although then we know we've got "Aunt Sally" covered when it comes time for the next gifting occasion & we become less anxiety ridden. Three cheers for that!

Favorite colors also help in the reverse. Say someone feels expected to gift me something. Even if I'm definitely not in need of that item, I know I'm typically much more receptive to receiving (& less obvious of my less-than-thrilled to be receiving) of said item when it's a shade of blue, or even of green. Having that "favorite color" assists the moment & motion to move more smoothly.

And I'm pretty sure that having "favorite colors" assists families with fewer spats. There's less concern over which kid has what or who will play with a particular toy whenever there's something for each child in their preferred color.
