I'm a pure blue Democrat, blues a good color for my blue eyes, but mmm, love
those ruby slippers:

"Men were more eager to bed women wearing red than those decked out in other
colors, according to five studies involving 149 men and 32 women published
today in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The men also
judged those women as more attractive than those sans red duds."

"'I'm not going to let my 16-year-old daughter wear red, let's put it that
way,' says study author Andrew Elliot, a professor of psychology at the
University of Rochester. 'I do think a female who's interested in a male and
going on a date ought to pull that red shirt out of the closet, because most
likely it will make her more attractive to him.'" 

"There are two explanations for the phenomenon, says Elliot, a visiting
professor at the University of Munich this semester. Society's emphasis on
red on Valentine's Day as well as in sexy red lingerie may have taught men
to link the color with romance, he says. There may also be an evolutionary
explanation, based on humans' close genetic relationship with primates: Male
primates tend to be especially attracted to female primates who show their
red hindquarters, made rosy by increased blood flow when they're most
fertile."

So yeah, how about deep purple.
