Which color is best? False. Blue.

Blue. It is the most important color.

Brother Clarke asked us this question: what is the most important color? Many of my classmates were confused at such a question. “Is this a trick?” “Surely there is no one right answer?” “How could anyone know such a secret?” they asked themselves. But I knew the answer even before I heard the question.

The debate has raged for centuries, nay, millennia about which color can stand atop the list of importance. Cave women grunted to their girlfriends, seeking which color makes them look less hairy. The ancient Egyptians tried to calculate which color scheme would further enslave their workforce (this doesn’t make a ton of sense, but neither did this assignment). The Founding Fathers of this great country, sought a color that stood for liberty, justice, and freedom for all. However, even they, in all their wisdom, could only narrow it down to three.

But after countless studies from both dedicated faculty and inspired students, one university has found the answer. BYU knows blue—true blue—is the most important color.
