In addition to your own experiences (and corresponding emotional associations) with something, such as a color, the way a society attributes meaning to it also impacts our personal presences. In other words, people respond to, and in turn communicate, social cues when they declare their preferences for a color.

In the US, for instance, more people say blue is their favorite color (one, of many, sources). So, sometimes (maybe or maybe not in your case!) that subtly affects a person's individual preferences, e.g., to also like blue and convey a message of social belonging.

P.S., You may enjoy Blue: The History of a Color, which describes the history of the color blue. It's a lot more involved than you'd expect!
