Color preferences under conformity pressures are related to Torrance's developmental curve of creativity. Yellow and Violet are the least preferred primary and secondary colors, respectively. Both males and females conform by the fourth grade to coloring and drawing a rabbit form naturalistically. There is a tendency toward renewed freedom in color usage in drawing in the sixth grade. Boys relate color preferences to sex identity, girls do not in this study.
Conformity plays a role in reducing the growth of graphic art creativity among young children.
In regards to the Korean sampling- 1. Red and Blue are also Korean elementary school students' dominant favorite colors. Yellow, however, unlike that found for Western and American children, forms a triad of dominant favorite colors for Korean children out of the 8 choices from a box of crayons. There is no sex preference for Red, Blue, or Green. Korean girls, like their counterparts in other cultures surveyed, prefer Pink more than their male peers.
