Why am I subconsciously attracted to things that are green?

Asked by shrubbery (10326points) December 11th, 2008

I’ll start off by saying that yes, my favourite colour is green and often consciously I choose green things over other possible colours.

However, when I am aimlessly browsing eg. clothes shopping, I seem to subconsciously pick out the green clothes far more often than other colours, without even noticing until whoever I’m with points it out to me.

The same thing happens say in a jewellery store if the cabinets are sorted into colours, I seem to always go to the green section first and only realise after I’ve walked over to it.

Does this mean anything? Or am I just reading too much into it and should just put it down to the fact that consciously I love the colour green?

You know how when you write a word lots of times or stare at it long enough it starts to look really stupid and you’re sure you’ve spelt it wrong? Well the word “conscious” is looking ridiculous right now. Someone tell me if I spelt it right? :P
