    Half psychedelic, half indigo. Also, I’m darn certain some of these can’t be rightly labeled. Either that or the ‘average’ perception and memory of color names is way off, because I swear I’ve seen violet as a much darker shade. Also, godddddddang, who put them in this order? It’s not alphabetical, it’s not in similarity, it’s not even in brightness/darkness.

    Indigo.

    I am partial to blue, and indigo has a pleasing amount of blue, while still being distinctly purple.

    Wildberry, I like the softness of it and the reddish undertone. Then it’s plum or midnight.

    I never claim to like any single colour.
    It always has to be in contrast with something and depends upon the context.

    For example in a GUI application, if I am making thin lines on black background, I would go with higher Luminance colours.
    If I am making 2 large areas side-by-side, separated by colour, then I am most probably going with a very slight difference in Luminance.

    Then it also depends upon the screen. I like amber lines on a black background, but have never seen a satisfactory amber on my LCD display. I have seen CRTs do that better. And the most satisfying amber I have seen is that of a CFL at night, where even the colour of the wall behind it, affected the impression (not a screen, but a lighting fixture), so essentially a gradient.
