I love yellow as well. I think it may have been because when I was a baby I had a yellow rug that I would always sleep with and it got taken everywhere with me so it was one of the first colours I saw and kept seeing.
I also colour code things into their order in the spectrum, like my hilighters and textas, I cannot stand it if they are out of order, it looks horrible!
I like green as well, and blue and turquoise (and all the other colours ) because they calm me, green especially... my bedroom walls are bright pale green (like pale as opposed to fluro hilighter colour). Actually majority of the things in my room are green.

I go through phases, so I didn't vote. Anything glittery or sparkly attracts me, so Mum has called me a magpie for a long time.
When I was younger, I used to line my textas and pencils up by order of colour on the edge of my desk at school, they had to be exactly straight. This is even written in my diagnostic report!
I still like colours to be in order, many years later.
It was a choice between turquoise and blue. I do like red sometimes - depending on shade - and also darker greens can be nice, as is orange. Not a fan of yellow - too garish and intrusive. It can work in very small doses but the cure for yellow really has to be a 99% opaque neutral density filter over each eye.

My favorite color is green. It's not as exciting black, not as symbolic as white, not as passionate as red, not as tranquil as blue, not as warm as yellow, not as blatant as orange, not as subtle as brown, not as neutral as grey. Green is just me.
