I suspect people are choosing more because of hue and undertones than strictly on RGB colors. It would be more interesting to aggregate the results up into more general conclusions - do people like pastels or earth tones better? How bright of a color is too bright before people stop voting for it? How dark?

I've been into 70's colorscapes recently, so when given the chance I vote for earthy tones, then beyond that I may pick colors I know i like, or based on emotional gut reaction, it depends how hard the gut reaction hits me. I'd be curious to have these stats as well. I'd also be curious to know, how often do I pick the colors I think are my favorite. Purple is my favorite color, but it doesn't appear often in earthy tones and I think I would prefer an earthy or washed out orange or green to a washed out purple.
