Q: Purple, Red or Blue? What color are U? I asked this one years ago & LOVED the responses. Most people are a lovely purple even though they say they're on the Red or Blue side...Is this true of you? I ALWAYS vote on the quality and content of the answr and certainly not...... (1 answer - asked 6 months ago)

A: Purplish-blue I’m purple, but a shade with more blue than red in it. Actually, both extremes scare me, though the one on the right scares me more. I hate the way our country has become so polarized in recent years. I really think that most of us are moderates at heart, that is, a wide variety of shades of purple. The next President has got to be a consensus builder, even more than Presidents have had to be in the past. America belongs to us all. Purple’s a great color, don't you think?

Q: Sometimes when we're sad we say we feel blue. What color would you attach to your mood today? Are you feeling purple? Red? Orange? Why is this color appropriate? Don't worry about the traditional color associations. There are no wrong answers. Just make sure to explain why you chose the color you chose. (5 answers - asked 22 months ago)

A: Help, I'm stuck in a prism.... I am not sure why, but today I'm bouncing from mood to mood/color to color. Maybe it is because it's a grey chilly day or maybe I'm just feeling a little burned out after a long week. I usually wake up long before the sun comes up and start my day so I have a little time by myself. I was too lethargic to crawl out of bed when my eyes opened. We'll call that a pale brown color for being sluggish and a little irritated at wanting to go back to sleep but feeling conflicted knowing I was choosing to forego my necessary quiet time alone. Zing into red as my husbands alarm went off and he hit snooze 5 times. The snooze button is one of my major pet peeves. Just get up when your alarm goes off. Hitting snooze just delays the inevitable while ensuring everyone in the house is woken up. Then came the chance to ease into a nice, warm, fuzzy peach when my 3 yo stumbled in and crawled in to snuggle with me. That's always a nice treat. My husband took the baby downstairs to feed and to start the coffee. Yellow started to glow within me as I basked in my option for laziness and forgot my former irritation in favor of some gratitude for his efforts. Green took over as I walked downstairs to the mess and realized my husband gets to leave while I face the same old same old. Just a little jealousy. Pink took hold when I opened Askville and saw some lovely PMs, comments and friend requests this morning. Nice, warm, and pleasantly surprised. Blue keeps trying to push it's way in as I look at the recent developments re: my husband's ex and my stepson and beginning planning how to handle it all, but I keep pushing that color away. Who knows where I will fall within the spectrum throughout the rest of the day. For now, I'm just a little violet.

Q: Other than being colors, what do orange, silver and purple have in common? (5 answers - asked 14 months ago)

A: Orange, silver and purple These are words that cannot (supposedly) be rhymed with any other words! Although someone told me here in Askville that if you use the British pronunciation "door hinge" rhymes with orange...
