It seems that people tend to gravitate towards novels with covers of a certain colour. I work in a bookshop, and I notice that my regulars do tend to fit this pattern - I can immediately think of my "Yellow Man," and my "Red" and "Gold" Ladies.
It seems that particular genres use specific colours more - eg.
I love psychological thrillers, dark Gothic tales, etc. - many of these have black and grey on their covers.
A lot of historical novels include gold and pastel colours on their covers, while chick lit. and other popular genres tend have bright red, pink, yellow, or lime green covers.
I'm wondering if this is deliberate, or coincidental...or is it merely people being drawn to their favourite colours?
Anyway, please humour me and have a look at your pile of favourite novels, and let me know if one cover-colour dominates - seriously, I'm quite intrigued by this phenomenon!
Tell me the colour (if there is one) and then tell me your favourite literary genre.
