You’re Favorite Color: What it says About You???
Whether we’re a vibrant Orange, or a
peaceful Blue, our color preferences are a key to understanding our
personalities. Find out what this color expert has to say about your favorite
color. What does it reveal about who you really are?
White: Symbolic
of purity, innocence and naivete, white has strong connotations of youth and
purity. If you are an older person, your preference for white could indicate a
desire for perfection and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost
youth and freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for simplicity or
the simple life.
Red: The color of strength, health, and
vitality, Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive,
vigorous and impulsive—or someone who would like to be! It goes with an
ambitious nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to
get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. Red people
are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather restless and
not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their own shortcomings.
They find it hard to be objective and may blame others for any mishaps. Quiet
people with a preference for red may feel the need for the warmth,
strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their true
feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by people with open and
uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.
Maroon: Harsh
experience has probably matured the Maroon person into someone likable and
generous. It is often a favorite color of someone who has been battered by life
but has come through. It indicates a well-disciplined Red personality—one who
has had difficulty experiences and has not come through unmarked but who has
grown and matured in the process.
Pink: This color embodies the gentler
qualities of Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion. Women who
prefer Pink tend to be maternal. Pink desires protection, special treatment and
a sheltered life. Pink people require affection and like to feel loved and
secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile. Pink people tend to be
charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.
Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes
a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and
people notice them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can
be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be
agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness, curiosity and
restlessness.
Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom and
imagination, Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for
novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and shrewd
personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of humor. It is the
color of intellectuality and all things to do with the mind. Yellow folks are usually clear
and precise thinkers who have a good opinion of their own mental capacities and
who have lofty ideals. They may at times tend to shun responsibility,
preferring freedom of thought and action.
Green: The color of harmony and balance,
Green symbolizes hope, renewal and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle
and sincere. Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly
sociable but preferring peace at any price. Green people can be too
self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may get exploited by others. They
are usually refined, civilized and reputable.
Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and
caring, Blue is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and
duty. Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues
like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are faithful,
but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too
cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.
Blue-Green: Exacting, discriminating, poised and
attractive, the Blue-Green person tends to be sensitive, intellectual and
refined, persevering and stable if rather detached. Blue-Greens have excellent
taste, and are usually courteous and charming, capable but often refusing help
or guidance.
Turquoise: Complex, imaginative and original,
Turquoise people drive themselves hard and may be in a state of turmoil under
their outwardly cool exterior.
Lavender: This is often chosen by a person who
lives “on a higher plane,” who never notices anything sordid and who is always
impeccably and beautifully dressed. Lavender people may be on a continual quest
for culture and the refined things of life, high and noble causes but without
the necessity of getting their hands dirty. A Lavender person is usually
creative, charming, witty and civilized.
Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious,
witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different.
Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof and
sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be
unconventional, tolerant and dignified, likely to achieve positions of
authority.
Brown: A Brown person has stamina and
patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable,
steady and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be inarticulate and
tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable and kindly. If you chose
Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate and inflexible.
Grey: The color of caution and compromise,
diligent Grays search for composure and peace and often work hard without
reward. Older Grays like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs.
Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their personalities.
Grays often have good business ability and tend to work too much.
Black: Dignified and impressive without being
showy, Black people want to give the appearance of mystery, but their
preference may also indicate a suppression of desires and worldly aims,
suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.
