If a truth is given as an answer such as a favorite color or song, while lying to one's true self about one's underlying complexity, is the answer a truth or a lie?

Green. Why? Because when I asked someone special why she said green, she had the prettiest smile when she said, "It's the color of life."

"Green" is truthful to who I am by a concept with deep meaning; a truth to your intentions and expectations in asking the question; but a lie in saying I have any color preferences for some narrow frequency band in a spectrum.

Did I tell the truth?
