Blue, specifically Sky Blue.

Based on our survey so far, this forum isn't too unrepresentative of the general male population: https://www.hotdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/color-preferences-by-gender-2014.gif

We're a bit more in favor of red than the general public (as all right-thinking people ought to be), and a bit less in favor of blue, but are otherwise not far off.

colorblind.  I still see colors but less of them than ya'll see, and anecdotally my brain usually doesn't try to notice them as quickly or frequently as others do.

Man, except for purple, which is not-so-surprisingly gendered in our culture, the men's and women's charts are broadly the same.  Which is pretty cool and not actually what I'd have expected.

(I imagine that leaving pink off helps with that, given how gendered pink is as well.)

From what I've read of how (most) colorblindness works, it seems that blue tends to stand out/be preserved much better than the rest of the spectrum, which all gets muddled into various flavors of what gets translated to trichromats as yellows and browns.  True/not true?

If we can do shades, then either cobalt blue or cherry red.

certain dark blues look like purple, otherwise yes.  the worst are shades of green/yellow/orange/tan, and of course the fabled dark red/dark green.

[Supersonic]

Orange.
