What Is Your Favorite Color?

Purple. It's also the colour of my favourite football team (Ravens), and the name of one of my favourite albums. So awesome all round.
 

Just wondering, when did "gray' become "grey"?

Anyhow, my favorite color is command shirt green. No kidding. ;)

Grey has always been 'grey' for me. It's just the way I learned the spelling, although I've always been aware of 'gray' as the alternate spelling, and I have noticed the 'e' spelling becoming more present in American English, whereas I used to see it primarily in British English. I recall a short story I read once in which a pair of twins' eye colors were described as one having 'gray' eyes and the other 'grey.'
 
As a kid, I hated the American spelling (despite being American) and once purposely missed it on a 2nd grade spelling test, because I felt so strongly about the "grey" spelling. ^_^

That being said, my favorite color is probably black or green. Hard to choose.

Boooo! (Pats fan here whose team got pushed around by the Ravens in the playoffs last year.)

Yeah, "grey" is the way I use it, too. I took AP English courses, and our teacher was hard set on the British usage.
 
^ Well that's it then, blokes! Let's celebrate with some Bangers & Mash and ring up our mobiles, or my name isn't Sir Aluminium Boot-Bonnet.
