This one is the hardest for me. Sand green or dark green. Because of green gorcer I am going to pick sand green.

Green Grocer sand blue green rules!

I chose olive green (I'm into modular buildings and this hue is perfect), with dark green as runner-up. Third choice, sand green.

Ok, I am genuinly surprised how high up Bright Green is on this one. Also, what is with the dark colors getting so high ranking?

Spring yellowish green is so good, especially for ghosts. Definitely one of my favorite colors

Controversial, but IMO Bright Green should be the main "green". It's a much more vibrant colour than the current "green".

I love sand green the most, but olive and dark green are close in second place!

Dark green is great for mocs - there's quite a few lighter green shades, but only the one dark green shade, so it's the 'go to' colour if you want darker greens.

I'm also MB fan and I choose sand green, because Green Grocer is my favorite Modular next to Cafe Corner and Fire Brigade.

Now me personally,I think olive green looks great on modular buildings, but it has to be sand green for me.

Very close between sand green and spring yellowish green. In the end, I went with the latter.

Green. Pretty much because it's one of the rarest colours in Technic, although the recent John Deere sets have done much to correct that.

Time to quote Scotty. "It's...green!" Seriously, I had to go with Sand Green. I like all the sand colors, but the previous polls had colors I like better. Also, I wonder if Olive Green's low ranking (second-lowest at time of posting) has any thing to with people thinking the opposite of Indiana Jones. "It doesn't belong in a museum!"

I think after this one there should be a poll for the least favourite color - because the fact that some shade ends up last here simply says that there is too little love for it - but another shade might be significantly less pleasant.

Love the original green, sand green is lovely too though. Bright green always looked garish to me.

For me, I vote based solely on the color itself, not its usefulness in making LEGO creations. I look at my parts bin and just love certain colors. I have a palette for photoshop and procreate of the basic LEGO colors that I use pretty frequently.

Seems there's quite a few people picking their favourite modular, not necessarily their favourite colour.

Controversial hot take here, but I think Sand Green is by far the most overrated colour in the Lego palette. Don't get me wrong, it's not a *bad* colour, but I just cannot understand why it's so highly regarded amongst AFOLs. And if anyone says "because it was in the Green Grocer"......!

For me, it's a tough choice between Dark and Olive Green. Dark Green looks great in so many different uses. But I went for Olive Green in the end, I do like the earthy tones that colours like this, dark tan and medium nougat give. Not so sure about its overwhelming use in the Natural History Museum, but it looked great in the Haunted House drop tower.

Green is my favourite colour anyway, olive is my favourite of the Lego greens.

I’m always happy to get any green, especially as it was only available in baseplates and foliage when I was a kid, so it’s probably my favourite colour family. Olive green, however, manages to create its own foreboding vibe,whether that’s as masonry or foliage, so it gets my vote.

Gravatar
By in United States,

the answer to all of these is "sand"

Gravatar
By in Sweden,

Not a lot of lime-green fans out here... To me that was a game-changer color, but I tend to like the other somewhat vibrant colors like Azure and Bright Light Orange.

Gravatar

Gonna have to disagree with Anakin here. Sand green is the best non-blue color in the LEGO palette.

Coming soon.... what's your favourite crisp flavour?

By in United States,

I had to go with green. The color of Pirate palm trees swaying in the wind. The color of alligators lying in wait for their Imperial 'figs dinner. The color of dragons with red wings, locked in a cage, but not for long. Pairs well with trans orange retributive fire.

Gravatar

Definitely bright green for me. I love vibrancy, and we don't get enough of bright green. Until I ordered parts from Pick a Brick, the only elements I had in the color were foliage elements.

It was a rough choice between Sand Green and Lime Green. Sand green looks really good on the 2019 buildable Yoda but at the same time I grew up on Rise of the Snakes Ninjago and lime green is super nostalgic for me. I finally decided to go for lime green. If it was a building then I would probably go for sand green though.

Green AKA 28 Dark Green is just the perfect green too me (not only in Lego, I hated that drab dark green that was the default non-neon green in older Windows versions...)

Green is neither too yellowish nor too bluish and also not too drab/dark/pale/light.

It's rather interesting to see, that so many people favor the sand and 'earth' versions of each color :)

Actually I do like these too (especially when thinking of Life on Mars), they are just not my number one^^

I like dark green personally so i can use it on military MOCS or vehicles.

Lime green for me, it was a very desired colour time ago due to a little building I loved.

Gravatar

Lime green is one of my absolute favorite colors in the world if not my favorite period, so this one was an easy choice.

Olive Green is definitely the worst. Can’t stand olives!

These posts seem beneath the quality threshold for this excellent site.

Colour preference is subjective, extremely context sensitive, subject to all kinds of unconscious biases and something most people are not capable of accurately or honestly answering. Asking about the topic in this way provides a pretty meaningless set of data.

And besides, the answer is Trans Neon Green.

Was sandgreen, but it would be nice if it was not so overused - give sandblue etc. a chance ...

I love all the greens and I like to mix them up to create vegetation. Difficult choice, but I went with olive green, because of 10243 Parisian Restaurant and it's great for plants. I have to say, I don't like it much on the new Museum, but that doesn't make me dislike the color in general.

Funny, once again I appear to be the total outlier. On every poll my favorite colour ranked last or second to last, and the winner was a colour I was totally indifferent to.

I despise sand green, and I can't stand how overused it is in sets these days.

Already voted for Bright green but after thinking about it, Spring Yellowish Green is actually a really nice colour.

Sheesh, took me all day to decide. I really wanted to vote for Spring Yellowish Green, but every time I thought about this poll, Sand Green always came to mind first. Then I was reminded of how much I liked its presence back in the first, yellow-fig wave of Harry Potter. So Sand Green it was.

Olive green evokes autumnal vibes for me and it has a certain sh nay say qwa if you know what I mean.

It’s, “Je ne sais quoi,” which is French for, “I don’t know what,” but is more often used (especially in English) to mean something that draws your interest, but in a way that can’t really be defined.

I personally do like Sand green and Dark green a lot (mostly from a certain overhauled Firespray class gunship and from an early Yoda UCS statue build among others), but my favourite green is still the mother of all LEGO greens; regular green! I grew up with it; baseplates, trees & flower stems. It made Miniland/ Classic Town and other themes feel more alive, gives it a bit more natural environments (in a nostalgic way of course!)

I'd love the darker colours more if they weren't so noticeably inconsistent.

Though I just built the Piranha Plant, and even bog-standard green wasn't safe from wild inconsistencies.

I intentionally spelt it like that because I wouldn’t be english if I didn’t butcher foreign languages.

I can for sure say what color I hate: Spring Yellowish Green
Not because I think it's ugly or anything in this direction at all. No, it's because every time I'm holding a piece of this colour I think "Cool, it glows in the dark!". Guess what happens? That's right, it doesn't. Why TLG, why?!?! Glow in the dark pieces are so much fun!

@PolarMammoth:
Je ne sais quoi you mean.

@Crasha:
I certainly had that impression when it was first introduced, but quickly figured it out. Haven’t been suckered ever since. But I’m also used to how trans-light-blue looks fluorescent but isn’t, while trans-medium-blue doesn’t look fluorescent but actually is…if inconsistently.

Just because I built a vintage Lotus F1 car off Rebrickable it has to be dark green; it looks least like Lego and people have to be told it is actually made of Lego when they see it - plus I like the challenge of locating all of the parts in dark green - a total nightmare but I kind of enjoy that...

Yes, but it was intentionally spelt wrong. "


You missed the joke. “Je ne sais quoi” means, “I don’t know what,” so “Je ne sais quoi you mean” means, “I don’t know what you mean.”

Sand green, olive green and dark green. All three are great.

I'm in the minority picking Spring Yellowish Green!

But green is my favorite color, so I honestly love all of the LEGO greens!
