Thank you so much for putting this together Pam!

I've never noticed my sims reacting any differently to objects that were their favorite color as opposed to ones that were not.  Is there really any benefit to making things exactly your sims' favorite color?

[Pam]

I've read that if rooms are decorated in the exact hex code of your Sim's favorite color, that he/she will get a decorated moodlet from it.  Personally, I've never been able to make it happen.  However, I use the hex codes of my Sims' favorite colors for clothing and cars, just for fun.  I also thought this would be good information for anyone who likes to build and participates in the building contest.  For example, Sarah Jones' favorite color is violet, so having the hex code for violet will make it easier to decorate for a contest.

I've read that too, on the Sims Wiki.  I haven't seen any in-game evidence to support it.  A wiki is only as good as the last person to edit it, and unfortunately sometimes people post information there that they've heard somewhere or read in the Prima guide (which is not always accurate), but that has not been confirmed or tested or discovered by looking at the code.

I do use my sims' favourite colours, for fun, like you do, and not just for clothes or decorating.  In one neighbourhood (just for something different) I use their favourite colours for their hair, with their skins from the red, green or blue palettes.  It gives the game a very cartoony look.

While on the subject of colours, here's some non-sim sites that can help with coming up with colour schemes when you're decorating.  They're easy to use, put in the hex code of a colour you want to use, and then you can see some colours that might work well with that colour.

I soooo [heart] this thread!!! Thank you all for the great info!

[Joria]

I'll give that a try, although I always get the well decorated or beautiful vista moodlet anyway.  Thanks Pam.  I only was able to come close in my house building contest entry.

[Pam]

Yeah, we'll go lenient with this first building contest because of this.  It's still a work in progress. 

[AriaGirl77]

My purpose for sharing Sarah's favorite color was simply to provide additional inspiration.  That's why it wasn't included under Requirements, but rather shared in the description.  Basically the entire Contest is designed to boost your creative thinking, rather than provide a formula for what kind of house to build.   

[Joria]

And it certainly has done that!  I keep seeing all kinds of different things to do and ways to think.  This first house is a basic, starter house built on the cheap.  Something I have never done in the past, so it really stretched my thinking.  I wasn't even totally happy with my result but felt it was acceptable for a first try.  Now I'm itching to try my hand on my own to build more starter houses just for fun and experimentation.  No time though. 

I really appreciate the fact that this contest exists, and certainly it wouldn't be here if not for your efforts.  Thanks so much for doing this, Ariagirl.

Ha, I love the codes for white, yellow, and black. So original, hehe, though I know the codes are generated by the computer, they're still funny.

[AriaGirl77]

Aw, what a sweet post, Joria!  I'm so glad you're enjoying the contest.

Well the hex codes are not exactly computer-generated. Each code is based on the amount of red, green and blue contained in the color. White is "ffffff", meaning  255 255 255 in hexadecimal, that means it has the maximum amount of red, green and blue, while black should have been "000000", meaning that there is no color at all. So the black used in the game as a favorite color would be in fact a dark gray. That's funny.

True, but it's not a number made up by the developers is what I meant. Though that is funny, why isn't black 000000? Unless, they're using the pigment colors, not the colors made by light.

This is awesome! I was wondering what the heck spice brown was when I saw it as one of my sim's favorite colors.  I'll have to make some modifications to his bedroom now.
