Colour Theory Survey REsponse

At first sight, we can see that the female audience has a more broad range of favourable colours than the males, who have picked fewer colours. Black is the most popular preferred colour, with both women (32.5%) and men (40.4%) selecting it. There is a high prevalence in choice of purple, red and green with both being the next top choices for both males and females. Observing the trends, men have chosen fewer and more basic colour choices, going for a colour scheme that would be majorly accepted as masculine, while this reason was not given in the responses majority had related their favourite colours to fashion choices saying they would look good worn. On the other hand, women gave more descriptive reasons for choosing their favourite colours focusing more on emotions and feelings being evoked rather than the material reasons of liking the colours. They've also chosen a more diverse colour palette showcasing that women may have a tendency to focus on colour more than men. 

Orange, Yellow and Pink are the most disliked colours chosen by both males and females. The main reasons given for disliking said colours are either because they are too bright or too dull. People tend to dislike certain colours due to their associations or different/conflicting ideas about the colours. Girls can have a tendency to hate pink due to being told since they've been a child that it is what they are 'supposed' to like thus we can see 10.7% of females disliking the colour, mainly stating that people assume pink to be their favourite due to them being a girl or the colours are too loud or come across as annoying. Many of the male responses didn't have a particular reason for disliking the colour but solely due to preference and that the colour either won't look good dressed up or is too bold.
