I read somewhere that the most preferred colour for males is pink, and for females is blue. Maybe we just choose not to like the colour we were expected to dress in as babies.

I think the pink/blue dichotomy has gone the way of the doll/truck matchup.

Surely always going the opposite way is still getting your decision made for you.

I use the default chess board settings, but why do I feel so ashamed to admit it??

Yours reminds me of a medieval courtyard; sombre and dark whereas mine is more like gingham kitchen curtains; practical and fresh aiding clear thinking 😀

The colour must depend on the device. On my backlit tablet it's much like a real-life board with a Staunton set. I suspect I'd go for something different if I was using a laptop. It's not helping my rating at all. 🤐

What if you happen to be male and your favourite colour is blue?

I've just been checking my original assumption and it seems that a majority of both sexes claim blue as their favorite colour. Pink is chosen by some girls but very few boys.

It takes a special kind of man to chose pink ~ which I think looks best on older chunky males with a bald head for some reason? 😀

I am assuming stats would give you that same answer. 😉

Although I believe Elvis had a pink cadillac.

Then again he had a song about his blue suede shoes.
