I know this is a bit random, but I want to know if I'm alone or not here. Whenever I think of the Science Fiction genre I associate it with the color green. Or green with an tinge of blue. Does anyone else associate colors with movie genres, or am I just weird?

There is not such a thing as a color for an entire genre. When I think of Kubrick's Space Odyssey I think of black. When I think of Nolan's Inception I think of blue. When I think of Alien I think of dark green. When I think of Spieberg's War of the Worlds I think of grey. When I think of District 9 I think of sepia. To some movies I can't even find a color, like Blade Runner.
Different color for every movie. If I would say that I think of blue when I think of Sci-Fi, it would be a deception, because my brain remembered the first movie of this genre which came in my mind, and then interprete it as a color for an entire genre. But it's untrue.

Yeah, I have different color associations for different films. But as a whole I can usually associate just one color with a film genre, generally speaking. When I think of Sci-Fi, I think of a combination of key Sci-Fi films and what the strongest color is, which in my case is green.
