Colours
Tell me, what advice would you give a child who came to you asking what their favorite color should be?
To follow their heart? That no color is right or wrong? That if they wanted to, they could always change their mind later, any number of times? That their happiness with their choice is all that matters? Not to give it too much importance? That they don't have to decide at all? That you approve no matter what they choose?
Now, what if they protested because they had heard from friends that there was a special color assigned to them at birth; their soul-color. They felt that a numerology reading might shed some light on their confusion. They wanted confirmation of their choices through a zodiac chart, tea leaves, and an Ouija board. And they asked if hiring a coach, therapist, or guru would be a good idea.
Yep, this is what I hear almost every day, just not so much for colors...
Sorry to lay this on you. I'm just fishing around for some new answers to the bazillion questions I get each week about careers, loves, and destinies - which to me, from here, are kind of like... crayons.
To me, it is crazy that people still want others to give them the answers when like the favorite crayon it could change every day and no one else would notice or care.
Ewhhhh, nice magenta! (today my favorite color, yesterday my favorite color was blue, did anyone notice or care?)

John, I like your thinking choice of favorite color can be situational. I think also the choice of color can be tied to how you are feeling. My wife and I are currently looking at exterior house paint as we decided to paint our house and charts are not the answer. So we are taking to driving around to see what colors there are on newer houses.
