Blue - is the favourite colour
In 2003, a study was conducted by Joe Hallock, who surveyed people from 22 different countries. The survey strived to find out people's favourite colour. The study found out that 35% of females (the majority of participants) and 57% of males (the majority) chose blue as their favourite colour. Moreover, blue was never chosen as the least favourite colour among the participants.

“Blue is not only the most popular color on the web today, it is also the most popular color on the spectrum internationally. Long associated with the serenity of a clear blue sky, and the cleansing waters of tranquil seas, the human mind embraces the concept of blue as constant, translating it into a symbolic message of dependability and loyalty.” (Pantone Vice President Laurie Pressman)

Blue is considered to be the most calming colour for the psychoemotional perceptive. This dates back thousands of years, where blue symbolised things like eternity, stability and purity. It is said to have a positive and calming effect on the mind of most people, whereas others can perceive it as being pressuring and stifling. If you also add, the concept that some people find that blue helps them concentrate, as well as relax, it comes as no surprise that it is widely chosen as a favourite colour.
