What is your favorite colour?

Hey,
so, what is your favorite colour? I mean, which ones you like, and which ones you dislike?
I imagine that there's maybe some explanation for each one you choose, otherwise i could think that you just picked them blindly and said to yourself "these are the ones i like, these are the ones i dislike".
If you do not have a specific reason, i imagine you can change your mind in a blink, and thus it's not worth discuting.
If you do have a specific reason - "i hate red because my ex-boyfriend's room was all red, i caught him with another girl the last week, so red reminds me of this episode.." - you could probably keep this opinion for a long time, so we'll focus on these cases.
We can say that these kind of things are the ones that define our personality, our identity. Things you adopt as a part of you because the world around has "taught" you this.
But when it is the point where you say "this is me, this is not me"? The thing is, maybe next week you'll find the "man of your life", and he loves to wear red...the point is, you're defining who you are all the time, and thus you should not block certain oportunities because you said to yourself "this is not me".
So, for a nice conclusion i would say: don't follow extreme opinions in the long term, don't stay the common place in the short..

Thinking The World
I mean, imagine your dad used to listen to Sgt. Peppers when you were young so when you listen to Lucy in the sky it reminds you of your childhood.
If your tastes are defined by your experiences, this means that they can be changed anytime with new experiences you have.
And more, to develop yourself, to be "bigger" than yourself, you should avoid taking your tastes into account. They are the result of your past experiences, and, following the heidegger "way" of seeing who we are, these things do nothing but reduce our possibilities in life.
i think this post can explain the idea in a depper way
cheers
