**[UPDATE]** I just added an „Invert“ option to the 3D visualization so it’s easier to see exactly which colors boys and girls dislike! You can check it out on the [live site](https://andreaslindeman.com/projects/colour-polygraph) :))
Feel free to drop any suggestions if you want to see something else or have any cool ideas. I would love some work to distract me from exams! All the data and visualization tools are also open source if you want to play around with it yourself :)))

Am I looking too much into this or is it that girls don’t like green and boys and girls basically only agree on the colors of the sky/dawn/dusk?

It seems to show different preferences for saturation as well as hue but that’s been disregarded in the agree/disagree charts.
I also don’t understand what axis relates to saturation, or what depth on the cube shape represents. Why use a 3D shape instead of a colour wheel?
[Edit] luminosity, not saturation

For me the biggest surprise is that girls don’t like green.

This is not what I had on my bingo card.

Margot Robbie taught me that pink goes with everything!
One of my children’s favorite growing up was yellow. Which seems to be a colour almost no one likes.

I know the visualization seems cool, but 3rd charts are actually one of the worst way to plot data.

Odd… There is no yellow or orange.

The greens for boys is interesting. The girl’s preference for pink and pastels was expected but I didn’t think green would be so male.

Conclusion: Guys, do not wear a bright green jumpsuit while on a first date! And if you do you should consider a mustache to distract from the fact you are wearing a bright green jumpsuit!

If I like fluffy pinky girl, does it count I like pink?

Girls don’t like red?
Everyone kind of like cyan/teal and purple, the best colour.

Lies. It’s always the purple/violet variants that go out of stock first!

I like how girls have one small, pronounced circle of yellow that’s basically all yellow fans

Sick graph man. In really into colors and that is something to discuss.

Wow, there is no green or orange at all in the girls. Interesting. There is some purple but it’s mostly pastel.

you should do it based on shirt color. many would wear pink shirts half the week but be like black is my fav color

How do you plot colour into a 3D cube? What colours correspond to the 8 vertices of the cube? So the colours exist in the middle of the cube or along its faces?

Just an fyi you have a typo in the last image “Grils”

Grils liek triangle?
/s Nice post OP, love the format.

The agreement and disagree need some margin of error. I see there is big agreement on red and big disagreement on… red. Unless the sample size was 10k, cherry vs fire engine red is an irrelevant difference.

At what ages? And I’d like to know how they were asked? A simple „what’s your favorite?“, pointing to a color on a spectrum, picking from discrete colors, picking a favorite from numerous pairs, etc. Methodology is very important to a study like this.
Okay – read the ’study‘. Still unclear as to age as it sounded like all ages. Clearly possible for societal norms to enter into this and maybe that was what they were interested in. I’d love to know how preferences change over time from infants, toddlers, pre-k, elementary, adolescence, adults. Also, looking at age cohorts to assess effects of media, marketing, etc. from WWII era through post 2000’s

Whats up with the triangles in the last image?
Cool graph, never thought pastel was a gender thing but i love that the boys are just straight up RGB
**Data Source:** Data and interactive project available at [https://andreaslindeman.com/projects/colour-polygraph](https://andreaslindeman.com/projects/colour-polygraph)
**Tools Used:** Python (data processing and cleaning), PHP (custom survey platform), and HTML/JS/CSS (visualization).
**Methodology & Demographics:** To ensure accurate results, I filtered out troll responses and spam from over 20,000+ raw submissions.
More meta data i found intresting:

„The dataset arrived dirty“ That was fun 😉
So, Oslo boys and girls are also subject to conform to the color / gender categories set a few decades ago (20th century) It was[ the opposite](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/unraveling-the-colorful-history-of-why-girls-wear-pink-and-boys-wear-blue-1370097/) back then 😉 (Smithsonian link)
Also, according to Mr. Pastoureau (French historian, heraldic specialist) Blue was meant for girls (see virgin Mary veil) and [red/pink for boys](https://www.franceinfo.fr/culture/livres/beaux-livres/rose-romantique-kitch-pop-les-secrets-d-une-couleur-ambivalente-dans-un-beau-livre-signe-michel-pastoureau_6870284.html) from the 17th c. (Link in French but you’ll see the picture)
Thanks for sharing !
Interesting, could this tie into the fact that women [tend to have more nuanced color perception than men](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21675035/)?
