Out of the four colors in the films, green in my favorite.

I know the EU has a lot more. We're going films-only for now.

Green "pops" the most on screen. In fact, Luke's lightsaber was made green instead of blue so that it wouldn't blend in with the background of Tatooine in Episode VI. It was invented for this very reason!

It's the color of those who embody the teachings and philosophies of the Jedi most strongly. The Consulars, wisdom bearing sages who guide others. It represents the core of a Jedi more than any other color.

I think Green is the coolest one seen in the movies. Mace's purple blade was awesome, but that's really a two-in-one deal: it was cool because only he had it. Green was cool without being overly special.

It's green, although given my colourblindness you could tell me it's yellow I'd believe you and I'd be okay with that too.

I like the orange and gold ones. I know almost none of them exist in canon but I just like the colors.

Green is nice, red is nice, blue is nice. But the orange and gold ones are just really cool to me.

Also I think I saw a silver lightsaber once, as nonsensical as that might be. Silver light. Har.

Green was always my favorite as a kid but there's something about the hilt of Anakin/Luke/Rey's blue saber that just says "screw it, I'll take blue"

I still really like the purple light sabres, the gold/orange ones are cool too.

I wish Lucas went all out and included more colours in the prequels. My gripe with the depiction of the Jedi's was that it didn't seem like a 1000+ year old organization in the prequels.

I have a replica of Luke's ROTJ saber because it is the best saber in the series. Fuck you Kylo for destroying it.

The temple guards during the prequel era use yellow:

There's a pre order bonus for Jedi: Fallen Order that includes an orange saber:

And Aksoka uses two white sabers in Rebels which come from "healing" red kyber crystals:

PURPLE looks evil and comforting at the same time.

I like it.

I'm more of an antagonist supporter kinda guy, so RED or PURPLE (fight me)

I also think the BLUE saber is more iconic and relevant in terms of toys/merchandise selling/catering to children, especially young boys.

Yeah, I don't watch any of the CGI shows, but the yellow ones are super cool even regardless.

Yellow/Orange/Gold>Silver=Blue>Purple>Red>Green.

Never liked green at all. Always looked off to me.

Yoda's Force FX green lightsaber is definitely my favorite one to handle, due to its diminutive size.

But in terms of color preference, sorry OP, I've always had an affinity for the good ol' blue.

Green rules. Purple is second best because it's so rare. Red is next and fits well with the Sith. Blue is last, just kind of boring.

Dual wield green and yellow or orange. I don't care that Lucas said I can't have yellow. Also blue light gives me a headache. Can you imagine a scrub Jedi with a goddamn migraine all the time? lol

Might be slightly biased considering it's already my favorite color, but the green really does pop like no other color.
