I'm partial to Indigo blue.

Personality Traits
loyal, patience, devotion

Cultural Meanings
Tibetans and ancient Indians used this color to make prayer shawls. They believed the color strengthened their concentration and spirituality.

Fun Facts
Elvis Presley’s Cadillac was blue before he painted it pink. The expression “out of the blue” means something came from an unexpected area and time.

History
Many years ago the only way to get indigo-colored dye was to take it from the Indigofera Tinctoria plant that only grows in India. Many people tried to get it, which made it rare, exotic, and unique. Indigo blue was thought to be used by Egyptians as early as 4500 BCE to wrap their mummies.

Great quiz! Thanks for finding it, Janice. Carnation Pink (#41, introduced in 1949) for me. Actually, Lavender was always my favorite, but it didn't make the Top 50. I always enjoyed the Crayola factory bit they did on Sesame Street way back when.

Personality Traits
sophisticated, frilly, feminine

Cultural Meanings
The Russians believed red meant beauty.

Fun Facts
Wear a lot of red because it shows that you can handle anything. A “red letter” day is one of special importance or meaning. Body builders report a 10 percent gain in muscle size when the gym is pink. Amazon river dolphins are pink.

History
The Bolsheviks used a red flag, which then became the communist flag.
